New FreeBSD Logo Contest to Close on June 30

xbsd writes "The Official FreeBSD Logo Contest is closing on June 30, 2005. As of June 23 they have received 429 compliant submissions, but if you got the skills you still have a few hours left to submit a proposal. Now, is it time for F/OSS projects to follow NetBSD and get a more polished (or as some would say, 'corporate') public image?"

Here are the most popular candidates but they were disqualified because they seem to promote piracy.

Some Suggestions

Here are a few to please corporate marketing, sales and management types (yes, they're work safe):

Redundant components: http://tinyurl.com/a2uhp

One for the marketing department: http://www.servepath.com/images/better_devil_250x2 80.jpg

One to compensate for corporate randomness: http://images-jp.amazon.com/images/P/483990930X.09 .LZZZZZZZ.jpg (what is it about Japanese graphics that just screams "weird!"?)

And finally of course, http://homepage.tinet.ie/~cullenm/2dart/regi.jpg (just to piss off the zealots)

Ok, of course I'm single-minded, but seriously, folks, stick to working on the (fantastic) OS, let the sysadmins smuggle it into the enterprise like they've been doing for years :)

Christian fundamentalists? Whatever...

Hell, I'm a "Christian fundamentalist" (by that I mean that I believe the Bible is true) and I think the Beastie mascot rocks! I'm glad the FreeBSD project isn't getting rid of it. Pshaw on idiots who have theirs heads so far up their asses that they think Beastie is evil because "it's a demon". Long live Beastie!
