Nicole, you're too emotional, I think. Nobody's gonna force you to make
new tattoo. Nobody's even gonna force you to use the logo, if you
dislike it.
But IMO this funny red ball _r_e_a_l_l_y_ looks more attractive for
newbies. At least, my co-workers (average PC users) have found it
"friendly" and "intriguing", even "sexy".
There's enough place for sysadmins-"old salts" with Beastie tattoos,
who, in fact, prefer FreeBSD not because of its "visual identity" at
all. But heading towards FreeBSD as a popular desktop/home OS we must
propose to the masses something shiny and sophisticated.
Hey, Beastie is still here ;)
Best regards,
Alaksiej Carniajeu /AC
