It's NEAT! The concept clicks, it says "Cool!" [ or is it "Kewl"? Methinks that's for Linux types, not us "grizzled UNIXheads" ] However, as a "Brand" for the FreeBSD products, I think this would be a mistake. When making a Logo for a Brand, you need to focus effort on multiplying and resonating your existing image. It's a mistake to create a new character each time you come up with a new application, witness the discussion of our punch-drunk waiter on the 3.1 CD set. Can I suggest a second cut? Take the same concept, Beastie with mirrored shades, and start from the existing "doughboy daemon" version, maybe giving him teeth in the same manner with xmorph as well as the shades? -- Don Wilde "Bringing the Internet to everyone!"
