Actually, both these are mascots, not logos. Linux doesn't even have a logo and FreeBSD just 2 years ago created a logo that resembles the daemon's head [1]. Linus himself describes the need for a mascot better in [2]. [1]:http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9605/1203.html [2]: http://logo-contest.freebsd.org/ > And herein lies the problem.

Judging from how successful these mascots have been and how often they've been used in so many events and places, I'd say that our community (too) would get benefited from a mascot. If we do decide to go on with the mascot idea, the next logical step would be to announce a contest for mascot ideas in public (something like the OpenVideo contest [3]). I guess FAB should be notified before that.
