It's a daemon (servers are full of little daemons). Personally, I think of the freebsd (only) logo as an avatar, which means you can make FreeBSD act in any way you want it to. Server, Router, Fileserver, various daemons, desktop, embedded, clustering.. so many choices... And please don't generalize. the "BSD logo" is not the same for all the variants of BSD. OpenBSD is a blowfish, NetBSD is a flag, FreeBSD is an avatar, plus each offshoot of their own respective systems.
