design and vote for a new logo by having a public competition.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
NetBSD did the very same thing last year, for very similar

Hi!
Would it be a good idea to make a separate mailing-list for the logo,
or using logo-contest.freebsd.org for discussion and logo-suggestions.
I feel this is off-topic, and besides; it seems that the decision has
already been made to change logo, and keep
beastie as mascot.
We need a logo that

Full ACK - folks, I think it's quite simple:
Tux - Linux Mascot
Beastie - BSD Mascot
Suse Logo, Redhat Logo, Mandrake Logo, NetBSD Logo, FreeBSD Logo, ...
None of the logos needs to feature

Oh I would not suggest removing Beastie altogether Jesper! That one is too
well known, but to add a supplementary angel with the feminine would add to the
Package. I am not talking St. Michael here, but rather Lillith, or Mary, or

Heya..
It might will be easily accepted, but yet, it's still a too advanced logo
to place to resize and such.. Yet, I prefer the old logo and when I see
it, it will always make me (and a LOT of others) to think of FreeBSD.. so
change it as much as you want to, the current one will still be the

Hmm, I am not a good enough artist to submit the drawing, but perhaps a good
