But yeah, the logo is not a vanilla flower, but it’s not so drastically different I’d fault them for it.
(One thing to note is that they named their OS “Vanilla” because of the common description of a software product, meaning unaltered from its original release. They named it this because they don’t change any settings or add any extensions to the Gnome desktop. They provide a “vanilla” installation. I don’t actually know if they were trying to do a vanilla flower as their logo, or just a flower.)
They named their OS after a genus of plants, not a single species. And there are some species that have wide, colored petals like that.
