Totally agree, and thats why I suggest keeping Beastie as a mascot.
Look at linux, everyone knows the linux penguin, but that doesnt stop 
RedHat, Caldera, Debian etc from having professional looking logos.
And I think most of us agree that the reason RedHat is more accepted 
then FreeBSD in the commercial world is not due to its superior 
quality, stability or heritage, right?
Maybe their more professional looking image has something to do with 
it? ;)
