Hey, free is free, right? What, no Celtics? I will admit to having bought lots of Apple shirts and a Celtics shirt. The rest of my logos shirts are of the free sort I pick up at conferences and from vendors :-) As regards the thread topic. I think the poster who mentioned that a logo and a mascot are not necessarily the same. That is a valid point. I think it would be bad if "Beastie" were to disappear. But there is an advantage to having a more "business like" logo in addition to the mascot for those times when such things as "Beastie" might be imprudent. Chad
