New FreeBSD Logo Announced

There you have it. That is the new FreeBSD logo. I think it is a mess. I cannot picture it being embroidered on a polo shirt. That is my basic test for a good logo. On the bright side, I hope to see Beastie disappear off the front of the FreeBSD Web site now.

I don't understand what FreeBSD is trying to do here. Beastie just needed to be cleaned up a bit. This...this is a joke.

Yuck. Get the mascot's out of the way and build a professional logo.

I wonder if I can locate the submissions and choose my own logo and mascot for FreeBSD.

I like the logo, it keeps the original mascot intact and looks somewhat flashy.

The "logo" as shown above is horrible. However, looking at the vector art at http://logo-contest.freebsd.org/result/640-1.png it's not so bad. Its somewhat simplistic in black and white, but it's no where near as bad as Debian's wanna-be coffee stain/Lucent rip-off.

The red banner that the "logo" is appearing on, along with the text formatting, is about the most anti-good image design as I have ever seen.

That logo looks like the mutant offspring of Pokemon and a vibrator.

Yeeeeechhhhhhhh

The Beastie is the daemon concept invented in UNIX. And BSD is the rightful offspring of UNIX and hence Beastie is the heir of the UNIX heritage and wealth.

All these are too technical for a business sense logo. And hence it does not mean anything to most people.
