Again, my point was, you can create two billion different incarnations
of FreeBSD logos with pointy horns and tails - none of them will ever
beat Beastie or its silhouette as the strategically most valuable logo
choice.
FreeBSD has no need to disassociate itself from its BSD history. To the
contrary, it's "corporate identity" needs to celebrate that
association. My little pointy horns and tails might be pretty, but they
are not enough. Beastie always wins. No professional logo designer in
their right mind would ever suggest to the FreeBSD project to drop that
logo.
