The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce a public competition to design a new Project logo. Entry to the competition is open to all individuals.
The FreeBSD Project is a team of individuals from all corners of the globe who volunteer time and expertise to develop the FreeBSD operating system.

The FreeBSD operating system (FreeBSD) is the operating system for PCs which is derived historical BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. FreeBSD is used as a base for Apple's Mac OS X, famous Web servers and backbone routers in the Internet. FreeBSD is available free of charge, and comes with full source code and liberal license.

Historically, the FreeBSD Project have used a characterized daemon as a mascot, and displayed it on our web site with the text "FreeBSD" as our logo. This character is sometimes misinterpreted in the religious and cultural context. Although the daemon character seems cute from out point of view, others may not think it works well for the professional products that indicate that are using the FreeBSD inside.
