FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo

Posted by timothy on from the but-the-daemon-rocks dept.

An anonymous reader submits "The FreeBSD core team has announced a public competition to design a new logo to replace the current BSD daemon logo. The new logo will be used on the FreeBSD website, software media labels, printed media, hardware equipment, and more. The winner of the contest will receive $500." It's too early for an April Fool's Joke; according to the contest page, "this daemon character seems cute from somebody's point of view, but somebody may think which does not suit for the professional products to indicate that are using the FreeBSD inside."

    How about a pentagram and a picture of a goat sitting on a wooden throne, blood raining down and all kinds of beasts and monsters engaged in acts of wanton carnal depravity while bodies of sinners roast half-dead over bonfires?

    indeed. I want my software designed by people living in the reality based community. Caving to religous and social pressures is really weak. If I wanted to run a Faith Based OS, I would use windows without a firewall.

    I have an idea for another contest. Design a sentence for the FreeBSD logo contest page that is comprehensible.

    My suggestion:

    Replace the one on the left with the one on the right.

    That's because penguins aren't usually associated with evil ;)
