I would hope not ... I'm not really on one side or another on this, but it occurs to me that a lot of people may be missing a subtle distinction. From what I understand "Beastie" is a mascot and not a logo although he may have been used in place of a logo since there was no logo previously. The addition of a logo should allow FreeBSD to appear more professional. The new logo should be complementary to Beastie and live along side it. Peace - Sam
