The issue started several years ago when one of the core
developers started agitating for a different graphic. Apparently
he had been asked too many times for his taste if the FreeBSD
project had something to do with devil worship. A long drawn
out argument ensued but core being core got their way. Core
then started claiming Beastie wasn't a logo, he was a mascot
and that it why we needed a logo (despite the fact that Beastie
has been used as a logo for years) As a
peace offering they tried the contest idea. The submissions
were so crappy they extended the contest deadline. Finally
they got a submission that they decided was OK and that "won"
the contest. The FreeBSD community was not allowed to see
the other entrants. It was your basic star chamber decision.

I always have wondered about the other entries. Surely someone
has got a copy of them lying around; I (and I'm sure many others)
would be quite interested to see them, if such a thing is possible.
