Why only the two extremes?
I do not wish to "commercialize" FreeBSD. I would hate if that ever 
happened. And I do not want FreeBSD to be taken over by anyone, I 
fully trust and support the people that runs the project today.

I simply can not see why an excellent technical development platform 
can not have an estethically pleasing logo and still be an excellent 
technical development platform?
