An ugly logo is just another collateral damage of political
correctness.

The banner is waving the wrong direction. Almost anyone using NetBSD
is reading from left to right, just like the console does, but the
flag is moving from right to left, this expresses moving backwards!

That's a very stupid idea, especially for a marketing logo.=20
Remember the traffic signs that give a warning of sharp increase
(at least here in Germany). They use a tringle that rises from left to
right, because people reading from left to right sense this
directions moving forward.

BTW: the shape and red color of that flag reminds me of the naval
signal for "I have dangerous goods aboard".
