As a long time reader of this list I did not see any announcement of it here. Only after selection of the new logo was made was it talked about on this list People were very up set with it them and the ground swell over this has only gotten bigger.
Loyal long time users are feeling insulted about being left out from the decision about the need for a new logo. A post in the archive give some lame reasons for a new logo which many people disagreed with even then but still the new legal FreeBSD foundation went ahead any how put it on the official website. I for one do not see an need to change the logo at all. I would say special effort was made to keep this whole new logo thing a secret from the general user population. That also goes for the formation of the new legal FreeBSD foundation. Not a word of it happening on this list until it was a done deal. You can see from this thread just how big a stink this is making. Lets point the finger at the real reason for the new logo. As part of the new legal FreeBSD foundation, the people who set it up though it's better to own the complete rights to the logo. So being pressed for time they choose to keep it off the questions list and pushed it through selecting what ever logo they had just to meet the filing dead line for the new legal FreeBSD foundation formation. For those of you who think this subject is flame bait, YOU ARE WHY THIS NEW LOGO IDEA WAS EVEN ABLE TO GET OFF THE GROUND IN THE FIRST PLACE. Sham on you, shut your pie hole. I want to know the email addresses of the people in control of the new foundation and everyone on this list who does not like the new logo and/or the way in which it was forced upon us should email them to voice our dissatisfaction directly to them. Because its obvious posting on this list has no effect or value in determining what happens to the legal FreeBSD organization and thus the logo used to represent us. If you want your voice in this matter to be effective you have to email those in legal control of the FreeBSD foundation. It's time they stop hiding and become accountable for their collective actions. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 6:48 AM To: Kep Woof Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: New freebsd logo on freebsd.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 10/05/2006 11:42:17: > hi, > > On 5/9/06, Bill Moran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Then take this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's just flame bait here. > > I don't want a chat, I want to know where I can find out how we ended > up with such a terrible logo.
