Thank you for showing some initiative in this area.  I would humbly
suggest that you pick your battles and concentrate on one item at a
time.  I recommend the FreeBSD logo, simply because FreeBSD_has no
logo_.  FreeBSD has a mascot, the Beastie daemon.  I wrote about this
in my blog when NetBSD's new logo was announced. [0]

I would also suggest you ask for feedback from the community at every
step of your process, preferably in a forum like freebsd-chat or
freebsd-advocacy.

Sincerely,

Richard
