:-)  Generally, in the discussion so far, almost everybody jumped 
through the hoops to emphasize that the need for a new logo is based on 
the need for a clean professional look and printability (scaling and 
cost due to colors) - and not about the political correctness.

I redid our beloved beastie in a simplified way that eliminates this 
problem sufficiently. Take a look at the following example which is 
reduced to just 28x42 pixels!  And this is on screen! - when printing, 
it is possible to go even smaller with this design without any trouble. 
No need to drop beastie as the freebsd logo for this reason:
