More accurately, one has a devil image and one doesen't.  The most 
recognizable image of beastie that has currently been used as a logo
is the image that appeared on the FreeBSD 1.1 CD's, Walnut Creek,
BSDI and even the FreeBSD website today use that image.  However the
devil/demon image has long been associated with UNIX and it's use
predates the drawing on the FreeBSD 1.1 CD that became the recognized
logo of FreeBSD.  I used the devil image because of the log history
of associating the demon/devil image with UNIX, in addition to the fact
that a specific rendering of it is used as the FreeBSD logo.
