We are free to use beastie if Kirk agrees. So what if we put the copyright thing into the EXIF tags? > ii) beastie may (or may not) be replaced in the near future. We literally had all FreeBSD GNOME splash screens featuring beastie AFAIR. Until something else is invented, I believe, beastie will keep poping up anyway in places where official logo would do. It still is the only graphical idea that people attribute and associate with (Free)BSD, and that directly make them think of the project, of course if they know what it is. I have to say I really like Bartek's designs, but the last ones with the flames, put me in doubts. One thing is what I mentioned in the previous paragraph - the lack of beastie. Due to the reasoning above I think, we should keep it. The other issue is burning the GNOME logo. I guess we had pretty much consensus about not doing frites of beastie and others, like here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2004-September/008313.html Anyway congrats to Bartek for his job. -- Piotr Smyrak piotr.smyrak@heron.pl
