 However , Beastie was not unique to FreeBSD . In lithographic terms , the Lasseter graphic is not line art and often requires a screened , four color photo offset printing process for faithful reproduction on physical surfaces such as paper . Also , the BSD daemon was thought to be too graphically detailed for smooth size scaling and aesthetically over @-@ dependent on multiple color gradations , making it hard to reliably reproduce as a simple , standardized logo in only two or three colors , much less in monochrome . Because of these worries , a competition was held and a new logo designed by Anton K. <unk> , still echoing the BSD daemon , was released on 8 October 2005 . However , it was announced by Robert Watson that , the FreeBSD project is " seeking a new logo , but not a new mascot " and that the FreeBSD project will continue to use Beastie as its mascot .
