The most recognizable image of beastie that has currently been used as a logo is the image that appeared on the FreeBSD 1.1 CD's, Walnut Creek, BSDI and even the FreeBSD website today use that image. However the devil/demon image has long been associated with UNIX and it's use predates the drawing on the FreeBSD 1.1 CD that became the recognized logo of FreeBSD. I used the devil image because of the log history of associating the demon/devil image with UNIX, in addition to the fact that a specific rendering of it is used as the FreeBSD logo. Ted
