Not sure, but again I think the word Linux by itself will get peoples' 
attention if they already have heard of it, and if not then I'm not sure 
a giant Tux would be much better.

Fair enough.

Again not sure - just like the look of what I've done and would like to 
stick with the basic design even if we change the wording a bit.

I'd like to know what others in the group think as well. Another thing 
that crossed my mind is whether the wording should say more about the 
group and what it does - e.g. having occasional demos as well as pub meets?

Also, before the posters go up, it would be good to have some stuff on 
the website that people can read to find out more about Linux and about 
the LUG.
