AFAIK, one of the main points of that logo competition is
to do away with anything that could be interpreted in an
religious way.  Therefore an image of an Angel would be
completely inappropriate.  (Why feminine anyway?  Beastie
has no specific gender, therefore it would be best to not
bias the logo one way or the other.)

Also take into account that a logo is not a mascot and
should not be designed in a way that it could be confused
with the mascot (Beastie will still exist), so the logo
should not contain a person or creature.

Just my 2 cents, YMMV.

Best regards
