FreeBSD icons & graphics...

[Brad Knowles]

Folks,

	I've been trying to do a 128x128 icon of the FreeBSD beastie for 
MacOS X.  I have looked at the images at 
<http://www.freebsd.org/gallery/gallery.html>, 
<http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/index.html>, 
<http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/mainpage/images.html>, and 
<http://www.freebsd.org/publish.html>, but none of them appear to 
have a clean graphic that is large enough to work with.

	I've also done some Googling, turning up 
<http://www.infosatellite.com/images/articlepics/freebsd_icon.gif>, 
<http://www.frogfoot.net/img/icon/freebsd.png>, 
<http://www.ybil.net/images/bsd_icon.gif>, and 
<http://people.freebsdchina.org/yarshure/img/bsd.jpg>.

	Unfortunately, <http://www.inetu.net/images/hosting/bsd_icon.gif> 
doesn't seem to be around anymore -- it would be a good start, since 
it's rather large (151x161).  Another option would be 
<http://www.kernelconcepts.de/pics/bsd-pin-mittel.jpg>, but again, it 
no longer seems to exist.  And 
<http://www.inetu.net/images/hosting/bsd3.jpg> (151x190).

	There is <http://cnrg.itb.ac.id/bsd.gif> (266x274), but he seems 
to be holding a flag and not a trident, and is also a quite 
color-reduced image.  Then there is 
<http://www.vickiandstacey.com/images/bsd.jpg> (150x150), but it is 
quite muddy.  Same problem with 
<http://cns.utoronto.ca/~pkern/pix/bsd1r.gif> (140x140).  And 
<http://www.bugat.at/inforum/images/bugat/daemon.gif> (165x159).


	I did find 
<http://www.linux-france.org/article/pro/entrepreneur-howto/01_letters/papier_lettre/bsd-big.gif> 
and 
<http://www.linux-france.org/article/pro/entrepreneur-howto/01_letters/papier_lettre/bsd-big.png> 
(both 400x475), but they seem to be enlargements of smaller images 
and not very good quality.


	Has anyone taken the image at 
<http://www.bostic.com/keith.icons/demon.jpg> (576x654) and cleaned 
it up, removed the background, etc...?  Or 
<http://www.infoplex.com/unix/images/43daemon1.jpg> (672x561)?

	There is 
<http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/bsdaemon/bsdaemon.png> (326x352), 
which is not bad.  Of course, it's more stylized and doesn't have the 
color depth of the other images.  If I can't find anything better, I 
may end up using this.


	Is there anything else I've missed?
