Wow, Ted a top-poster!

A professional evaluation of "beastie" showed he was not a logo and =20
had served as a poor-one at that in his ersatz role as a wanna-be =20
logo.   (Note that I did not say that Beastie was poor but that he =20
had served as a poor logo based on professional criteria of what =20
makes a good logo).  Beastie has his place.
