I'm not really on one side or another on this, but it occurs to me that 
a lot of people may be missing a subtle distinction. From what I 
understand "Beastie" is a mascot and not a logo although he may have 
been used in place of a logo since there was no logo previously. The 
addition of a logo should allow FreeBSD to appear more professional. The 
new logo should be complementary to Beastie and live along side it.
