Firstly sorry for the delay in replying, but I have spent most of the
day rebuilding a system <sigh>.

Thanks!

   Not bad, although the reason for the multiple daemons probably won't
   be obvious.   Maybe a sort of daemon Road Warrior motif would work
   better... :')
   
In hindsight I agree. I was considering a muscle bound (steroids
taking ?) version of the Beastie at one point. Maybe a bikie version ?

   What colors would daemons be other than red? :) I like the way it
   looks with the three of them... I don't particulary like the _pink_
   background, though. The image looks a little fuzzy, but that could
   just be lousy dithering in Netscape. The 'Powered by NetBSD' might
   look better a little more to the right-- it strikes me as a little
   lopsided as it stands. Overall a nice job, though! If it weren't pink,
   I'd use it right now. ;)

The text might look fuzzy due to the anti-aliasing going on. Also
moving the text is no problem.

There have been a few suggestions to use the yellow/orange from the
book cover. Given the logo is in photoshop format I can do almost
anything to it. I am definitely going to change the background.

Go right ahead. That's why I did it. You might want to wait for the
next version (I'll most likely do a few variations).

   looks pretty good. I think that the colours are just fine. The 
   multiple daemons thing may be too subtle. Being right-brain-challenged
   it's hard to say. given the orientation of the lettering, would it make 
   sense to put

Point taken...

   Powered by
      NetBSD
   multi-platform OS

   where the last line would be about the same font size as the "Powered by".
   [or smaller]. I know that its pretty blatant, but to Joe average user looking
   at a web page, that piece of info may be what is needed to get his attention.

I think that that will help a lot (it'll be in it). I have sort of
decided to drop the multiple daemons (I'll keep the origional intact).

   Nice work. Cheers.

Thanks.

Great!

   Now, the feedback:
   - Isn't it too big ?

How big do you think it should be ? It could come back down to the
freeBSD logo size as I will be dropping the number of Beasties...

   - I'm not sure, but maybe some color changing may be good.

See above...

   Even more logical would be different expressions on the faces; or different 
   kinds of sceptre things. alas I don't know anyone with artistic talent  :)

I'm not quite there. Although sometime I want to model the Beastie in
3D and maybe then the face changes (as well as physic [spel?] :)

   >Actually, I think I like "Driven by NetBSD" better than "Powered by NetBSD".
   
   Hm.   This suggests to me a picture of a nondescript but probably
   non-PC computer with wheels with a BSD Daemon following behind it,
   prodding it along with its pitchfork...

Strange you should mention that. My first idea was of a team of
Beasties pushing or pulling something of a computer. I'd decided
against it...

   I've some daemon-pics on my homepage
   (http://rfhs1012.fh.uni-regensburg.de/~feyrer/NetBSD/daemon.html), and i have
   the OK from Kirk McK. to use them for non-profit display. If you want to know
   more about that, check the copyright out there, it also contains Kirk McK.'s
   address, in case you want to contact him.
 
Thanks! I have been looking over there, some possibilities...

I'll let people know as to when the next versions will be ready.
