New FreeBSD Logo

The new FreeBSD logo competition has finished with Anton K. Gural's design winning. I personally this that it looks more like a cat's head than being anything related to beastie; but that might be intentional.

Competion results page.

Winning Submission.

I voted "I like it". Maybe having to defend such an ugly logo everytime the perennial BSV-vs-any-other-OS flamewar breaks out will make the FreeBSD fanboys tone down their elitist asshattery... :twisted:

it is like pokemon, I quite like it. Keep the retro one in there for posterity sake though.

I now have the urge to buy a FreeBSD T-Shirt with the old logo (black TShirt) anyone know of a supplier in the UK?

Somehow that could have been more devilish. The "horns" could be pointier. Perhaps the ball could have eyes, or something. Otherwise it's fine. It just takes some time to get used to.

Beastie never went anywhere. It's still the same mascot it has always been. Beastie was never a logo.

I like it, it looks much more powerful. Beastie is still the mascot, but different logo. At least the logo is still in the shape of beastie's head.

I kinda like the red blob thing, but that font is fscking lame.

I think it works. As a product that can be distributed, the logo looks much more friendly. However, Beastie is still the mascot.

I'm ok with it. I think there probably were better logos, but this one works.

Did anyone else think UCB when they saw the new logo?

ronscores · n00b Joined: 23 Apr 2005 Posts: 29

actually the new one is koool
kinda XPish i'd say!
anyway I ain't sayin beastie was bad.., In such a modern graphics age, old 2d graphix really don't sell, thanx to Windozes' XP logo redefining the 3-d graphix scene altogether.

EDIT : WOW! a 50-50 on the VOTE! Never thought that many liked, it!

To clarify something, Beastie was never a logo. He was, and remains, the mascot.
