I have to admit, when I first saw the new logo, it kinda lost me as to why we were changing from something 'cute' to something 'sterile' :( To me, Beastie will always == FreeBSD, and even though there is a new "Official Logo", I'll stick with proudly displaying Beastie on my web site *shrug* Beastie will only ever die if ppl stop displaying him ... ---- Marc G.
