    Ubuntu means "an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other". And the logo is a graphical representation of 3 people holding their arms out, making a circle. See these 2 images:

    So the logo is perfectly describing the word Ubuntu.

  3. I always thought the Ubuntu logo looked like the circular bit in the center of a laptop's CD reader, a reference to Ubuntu's Live CD distribution.
