I lose sleep at night wondering where it is. ;-) Another > minor point: if the daemon climbs down ladders like everyone else does, > wouldn't his feet point the other way? Yeah, the general orientation does my head in. How about flipping things around so that the ladder is on the right of the picture with the footprint pointing away from it but with the shadow heading away from the ladder and upright from our point of view, rather than upside down as it is now. I'm still not too keen on the slogan. We should ditch the PC bit since we may use this for quite a while and other ports are on the horizon. Besides which, I just don't like the reference to PC's. What about, "A Giant Step for BSD" ? > BTW, have we discarded the idea of including the daemon himself along > with the lunar horizon, Earth and sun? Nice touch with the camera > gridpoints too. Real NASA-like. :) Hmm, I'm not sure I like the grid points either. This is really good work though, keep it up. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
