Mascot of GNU, "GNU", with "Tux", the mascot of Linux
This is a list of computing mascots. A mascot is any person, animal, or object thought to bring luck, or anything used to represent a group with a common public identity. In case of computing mascots, they either represent software, hardware, or any project or collective entity behind them.
Within collaborative software projects, the use of mascots often allow for the existence of a non-trademarked symbol for use by the software's community, as opposed to Logos and Wordmarks, which often have more stringent protections.[1]

GNU, a free and open-source operating system and an extensive collection of computer software; it is also the mascot of GNU Project, a free-software, mass-collaboration project
The mascots associated with the Godot Engine, a free and open-source, cross-platform game engine. The primary symbol is the stylized Godot logo, which serves as the basis for various character designs. These include Gbot (also known as Gobot or GDbot), an anthropomorphic robot with a Godot logo-shaped head, and part of the same mascot line as Godette and Sophia. Godette is an anime-style female mascot inspired by the logo's features, and Sophia is artist Tyson Tan’s reinterpretation of Godette in the tradition of OS-tan or anime-tan software mascots. A Godot plush toy, modeled after the logo, exists in both 2D and 3D forms and is often featured in Godot-based games.
A stylized blue robot head with a gear-shaped outline serves as the base design across all variants.
The primary mascot of KDE, an international community that develops free and open-source software, and KDE Projects, software they have developed, including KDE Plasma workspace, KDE Frameworks, and the software foundation of other KDE Applications. A number of other dragons also exist, such as Katie, associated with KDE Women's Project and KDE dragons, the mascots of KDE Community
