I have to admit, when I first saw the new logo, it kinda lost me as to why 
we were changing from something 'cute' to something 'sterile' :(  To me, 
Beastie will always == FreeBSD, and even though there is a new "Official 
Logo", I'll stick with proudly displaying Beastie on my web site *shrug*

Beastie will only ever die if ppl stop displaying him ...
