You might want to look at Ewing's site http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/  
for a vector (EPS) of TUX.  

I think it would easy to remake a 300dpi logo from scratch using that, adding 
text (the font above and below Tux is Bauhaus93, I think), and finding some 
nice vector catcus artwork. The logo on the website is not of high enough 
resolution to go out to print.
