I like the intention (art, don't you know :), but I think they would be more 
effective as a small decorative border effect around the images.

NetBSD is red.  FreeBSD is blue, and OpenBSD is yellow.  ;^)

Actually, I have always thought red to be the color of BSD (it's the color of 
the BSD 4.4 Internals book, and the color of pre-Wasabi NetBSD cdroms, not to 
mention the skin color of our mascot).  As such, it serves to hint that NetBSD 
is 'closer' to the source than the other BSDs (whether true or not anymore-- I 
might be crossing the line into marketing, here).

Also, it's really effective when you're in a busy Expo filled with people. 
Red grabs your attention, and screams out 'BSD' to me.  A white placard gets 
lost (though it is cheaper to print).
