Just for the record:

Color is very easy to abuse.  It can also come up muddy if a
black-and-white display (or low-color display) is used.  (Or, imagine
someone printing a poster of it, or making a transfer for a tee-shirt.)

I think that the current NetBSD logo is at once clean and elegant, while
communicating a point about teamwork.  Hey, what a concept!  That reminds
me of my favorite OS...  Clamboring over a pile of old computers to stake
a territorial claim is another nice metaphore.


I'd rather that not a pixel be changed in it, myself.  People looking for
colorful flash movies and whatnot can dig those up on other sites.
(Though I concede that I liked the pictures of the girls that someone put
up on a page.  Their tattoos were very tasteful and elegant.  (^&)

(Also, that's not to say that I'm firmly opposed to the idea of ever
changing the logo.  But there is *nothing* wrong with what we have, in my
eyes.  Replacing it would hopefully be done from the vantage point of
actually having a better alternative, than from a desire to remove a nice
bit of fitting artwork.)
