Hello, when I was first introduced to BSD, the very first thing that I noticed was Beastie. It got my attention. I pointed to Beastie and asked "Whats that?", and after my initial introduction one of the things that stayed in my mind was Beastie. So, as symbol, it fullfilled all the requirements for a successful symbol, namely: 1: It got my attention. 2: It made me want to know more. 3: It was memorable. If the new symbol does not fullfill all of the above points, then I suggest that it is not as effective a symbol as Beastie. Regards, Tim. --- Danny Pansters <danny@ricin.com> wrote: > On Wednesday 2 November 2005 01:34, Steve Bertrand > wrote: > > I understand the frustration and anger here, but > let's please think of > > I don't have any frustration or anger.
