    I am amazed. It manages to look similar to the old one (horns) for someone who knows, yet if you don't know it does not suggest anything demonlike. Which is precisely what they wanted, I guess.

    Uhm, yeah. That's because a pokeman ball is.. just a 3d rendered ball.

  3. Beastie (the Daemon) is NOT GOING ANYWHERE by adamwpants · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A lot of people seem to have trouble grasping the concept here, so perhaps this will help.

    There is a difference between a mascot and a logo.

    Think about McDonalds. Their logo is a giant 'M'. Their mascot is a scary kiddy-fiddling clown thing. The giant 'M' has changed over time, but Ronald McDonald is still the same freakish evil clown.

    The Daemon mascot is going nowhere.

    Jeebus.

    This is my signature. There are many signatures like it, but this one is mine.

    Hmmm... It looks to me like a sex toy, but that probably says more about me than the logo in fairness.

    Now I can't look at the beastie without thinking "Double-donger on a balloon"
