I don't think that's a problem. I think the most significant thing is
that, when reduced to that size, the logo is recognizably distinct.

The FreeBSD, and Darwin logos are the only two that aren't as distinct,
at a glance, as the others there.

No one is going to select NetBSD as an OS because of how the mini logo
appears on osnews.com - I hope ;-)
