Personally, I enjoy our mascot Beastie, as well as the Beastie-influenced official logo. I also smile when I see Casper, Wendy andHotStuff. However, I also accept there are individuals who understand these symbols differently than me, and that I may be alienating them to my detriment. It seems consumer products need to be mindful of cultural differences, is FreeBSD different? A larger community and increased OS market share wouldn't be all that bad, would it? I hope that those of you who believe in FreeBSD but with a personal conflict with the mascot or logo, band together and propose a complementary alternate symbol. I don't mean flooding the mail list (it's obvious we can do that on our own), I'm talking about difficult time-consuming organization, lobbying, and support gathering. For me, I hope Beastie endures forever - he our first and legacy mascot - but I also wouldn't object to one or two more officially sanctioned mascots and logos either.
