People spent years arguing about the BSDie daemon image and how it causes misunderstandings, etc and so they had a contest to choose an official logo (BSDie was no a logo, many claimed. He is just a mascott). Well, the sex toy is what FreeBSD ended up with as logo with BSDie daemon retained as the mascott. More people still identify with the BSDie daemon doll and still use it on their web pages, etc. But, the sex toy is currently the official logo - as much as anything is official with FreeBSD. So, now we can have numerous long threads complaining about how the sex toy is a bad image for FreeBSD and causes misunderstanding. If I could draw, I would have offered an alternative, but such is not my fortune. Have fun y'all. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
