That's why The > FreeBSD Project is announcing a public competition for the new logo The EU is starting a procedure to ban the swastika from use as it was used by some 100 million nazis and most of them are meanwhile dead. The EU is totally ignoring the fact that some 2 billion people are using it as a religious symbol. The same things happens here too. A minority is making a lot of noise and the majority is expected to move. People who do not like the new logo should come up with the same reasons against the new one. It is alsways possible with this kind of arguments to be against everything. Erich
