Probably a > Mary would make a good bet. AFAIK, one of the main points of that logo competition is to do away with anything that could be interpreted in an religious way. Therefore an image of an Angel would be completely inappropriate. (Why feminine anyway? Beastie has no specific gender, therefore it would be best to not bias the logo one way or the other.) Also take into account that a logo is not a mascot and should not be designed in a way that it could be confused with the mascot (Beastie will still exist), so the logo should not contain a person or creature. Just my 2 cents, YMMV.
