That was written by "Ricardo Alves dos Reis" who as far as I can tell [1] does not hold any official capacity at the FreeBSD Foundation or in the groups of people (committers etc) who had/have a say. In other words, it was one outsider's personal opinion. It in now way says anything about the real reasons for the whole thing. > > Yes, Chad, we all know you love the new logo.

Please read <http://logo-contest.freebsd.org/announce.txt>; which is the "Official" rules and explanation. Nothing in there that I can find. Stop rewriting history yourself. Your post above is embarrassing as you try and claim official status for someone's (who appears to be an outsider) personal opinion.
