If you're trying to limit the argument to a specific cause-and-effect 
relationship between the logo and choice of OS, you're missing a larger 
picture composed of several issues.

There are many facets of this issue that affect current FreeBSD users.  
For example, I chose FreeBSD; but getting approval from my employer was 
an uphill battle.  Other issues include logo printability (and quality 
thereof), and license issues.

Best regards,
