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.
