Look at the front page of www.netbsd.org. They have a nice, clean logo.
I don't think that a logo makes or breaks deals, but from a public
relations and marketing standpoint a good logo is extremely useful, and
the lack of a logo (or a very busy logo that's hard to use and
recognize) can be a liability.
FreeBSD currently doesn't have a logo. The mascot is cute, but cute
isn't a good idea when selling to the corporate world, which tends to
choose tools based on their suitability to a purpose rather than on the
personal attractiveness of the mascot.
There's no harm in keeping the mascot, but you can't really use a mascot
where a logo is needed.
