Folks, I've been trying to do a 128x128 icon of the FreeBSD beastie for MacOS X. I have looked at the images at <http://www.freebsd.org/gallery/gallery.html>, <http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/index.html>, <http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/mainpage/images.html>, and <http://www.freebsd.org/publish.html>, but none of them appear to have a clean graphic that is large enough to work with. I've also done some Googling, turning up <http://www.infosatellite.com/images/articlepics/freebsd_icon.gif>, <http://www.frogfoot.net/img/icon/freebsd.png>, <http://www.ybil.net/images/bsd_icon.gif>, and <http://people.freebsdchina.org/yarshure/img/bsd.jpg>. Unfortunately, <http://www.inetu.net/images/hosting/bsd_icon.gif>; doesn't seem to be around anymore -- it would be a good start, since it's rather large (151x161). Another option would be <http://www.kernelconcepts.de/pics/bsd-pin-mittel.jpg>, but again, it no longer seems to exist. And <http://www.inetu.net/images/hosting/bsd3.jpg>; (151x190). There is <http://cnrg.itb.ac.id/bsd.gif>; (266x274), but he seems to be holding a flag and not a trident, and is also a quite color-reduced image. Then there is <http://www.vickiandstacey.com/images/bsd.jpg>; (150x150), but it is quite muddy. Same problem with <http://cns.utoronto.ca/~pkern/pix/bsd1r.gif>; (140x140). And <http://www.bugat.at/inforum/images/bugat/daemon.gif>; (165x159). I did find <http://www.linux-france.org/article/pro/entrepreneur-howto/01_letters/papier_lettre/bsd-big.gif>; and <http://www.linux-france.org/article/pro/entrepreneur-howto/01_letters/papier_lettre/bsd-big.png>; (both 400x475), but they seem to be enlargements of smaller images and not very good quality. Has anyone taken the image at <http://www.bostic.com/keith.icons/demon.jpg>; (576x654) and cleaned it up, removed the background, etc...? Or <http://www.infoplex.com/unix/images/43daemon1.jpg>; (672x561)? There is <http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/bsdaemon/bsdaemon.png>; (326x352), which is not bad. Of course, it's more stylized and doesn't have the color depth of the other images. If I can't find anything better, I may end up using this. Is there anything else I've missed? -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
