I think the critism is a bit harsh. Any logo for FreeBSD is going to be an lossing battle - how do you please the beastie fans who don't want anything radically different, and those that want a more 'professional' logo. I think this logo does the job very well, all beastie fans can immediatly recognise it for what it is, while someone who is unaware (i.e. the PHB) will only see it as a generic logo. Too much importance is given to logos, read some of the press releases about new logo designs to see some of the crap marketing drones come out with. It is just a picture to associate with a product, nothing to get too excited about.
