As is the ASU Sun Devil.  When the pope came to visit many years ago.. there
was talk of changing it.  The story I heard was that he said it didn't bother
him.

I think realistically though.. religion is probably low enough on the list of
reasons to dump the iwo-daemon it shouldn't have been mentioned.  There are
much more valid reasons for replacing the logo, even if you get rid of all the
"who will it insult next" reasons.
