Pessoal,
Sei que esse assunto ja gerou discussoes bastante exaltadas aqui,
mas acho interessante comentar: O pessoal do NetBSD resolveu abandonar o
"diabinho" e estao promovendo uma competicao para escolher um novo
logotipo e um novo "personagem" para representar o sistema.
Curiosamente, um dos motivos pela troca e' justamente a questao da
natureza cultural e/ou religiosa do "demon/daemon". :)
Segue abaixo a mensagem...

NetBSD logo design competition
The NetBSD Project is an international collaborative effort of a
large group of diverse people to produce a freely available, and
redistributable UNIX-like operating system.
NetBSD is a trademark of the NetBSD Foundation, Inc., which is a
non-profit corporation which whose primary goal is to promote
the development of the NetBSD operating system and related software.
The NetBSD Foundation is retiring the existing NetBSD daemon identity
and is adopting a new logo. To that end we are launching an
international competition for the creation of a new logo.
We extend an invitation to all interested parties to submit design(s)
for consideration. This is an open competition, to be judged by
the Board of Directors of the NetBSD Foundation and selected other
people.
There is a cash prize of $ 100.00 (one hundred US dollars) for the
winning entry. The successful logo will also have wide exposure,
featuring in all NetBSD material including, but not limited to;
the NetBSD.org web site, software media, apparel, and business
systems.
The competition will close on February 29, 2003.
The rules of the competition, submission information and the
design brief are included in this document.
Please forward all designs and contact details via email to:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
We look forward with interest to receiving all proposals.
Thanks and kind regards,
Luke Mewburn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on behalf of
The Board of Directors of The NetBSD Foundation <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

Design Brief
NetBSD's current image can be viewed here:
http://www.NetBSD.org/
http://www.NetBSD.org/images/NetBSD.jpg
The following problems have been identified with the current identity:
* Too complicated.
* Hard to reproduce.
* Has negative cultural, and religious ramifications.
Some suggested themes for the new identity include:
* An animal character such as the Linux `Tux' penguin (4) or
Darwin `Hexley' platypus (2).
* An abstract symbol conveying the goals and spirit of open source
technology.
* A logo based on the letter-forms of the organization name (NetBSD).
The following list of links to existing identities may be used for
guidance:
(1) http://www.debian.org/
(2) http://www.hexley.com/
(3) http://www.ibm.com/

Judgment criteria
The new logo shall meet the following requirements:
* Due to the issues identified above, the current NetBSD
daemon character cannot be used.
* The organization name (NetBSD) must be included in the
final logo.
* The logo must be identifiable.
* If abstract, the logo must be simple and clear in concept.
* It must convey traditional goals and spirit of the NetBSD
