You shouldn't take offence to the logo; there's nothing satanic about it.

Traditionaly a daemon is a helping spirit working in the background for your benefit. This isn't too far a stretch from the saints catholics pray to. In the unix world, a daemon process is a program operating without the knowledge of the user which handles the minutia the user doesn't have the time, interest or skill to administer.
Unfortunatly, christians have a history of interpreting anything that is not of God as being satanic and because daemons comes from greek mythology, they have been interpreted as satans minions.
The logo is simply an unfortunate blend of the idea of a daemon with a face that is easily recognisable.
Sorry, no prince of darkness here, only Greeks!
