I am glad I am not the only one. This logo is in no way, shape, or form better for FreeBSD compared to the last logo. I mean honestly. I am a marketing professional and I do not see the "progress" either. I too enjoy the advancement of FreeBSD when it is actual progress. And I agree with the above poster, does the logo really need changing? Maybe it just needs some new marketers... I mean a Fedora, a Penguin, and a Gecko have been working for Linux. And as a Christian I don't feel that the old logo was offensive either. At least it had character. Anyway, just an opinion of a user since 4.0. Chad M.
