And the real announcement text, asks specifically for a logo that can be used *with* the current mascot, or separately, so the design should work with the beastie. I'm not sure how you say "Make it work well with the devil, stylistically speaking" in a logo request, but we'll figure something out. :-) The FreeBSD Project yet again learns the following important lesson: don't ever put anything on a web site before you're ready for the world to see it, even if it makes it easier to edit. You'd think after we had 3+ releases prematurely announced on www.slashdot.org due to postings to the FTP directories during replication that we'd have figured that out. Robert N M Watson
