I agree something like this...

http://top.ch/sitedata/freebsd/freehorns.gif

...would be possible as well.

But personally, I think FreeBSD should celebrate some of its 
idiosyncrasies - specially the ones that are representative of its BSD 
UNIX tradition. To professionalize FreeBSD we would have to change its 
name before we would "have to" drop Beastie as its logo. It's probably 
even true that FreeBSD is more associated and recognized by its Beastie 
logo than by its name - and I'm not kidding.
