FreeBSD logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG FreeBSD Logo PNG FreeBSD is an operating system of the UNIX family, which serves as a successor for AT&T within the BSD line created at Berkeley University.
- The first version of FreeBSD was introduced in December 1993.
- For about thirty years, a community of more than 300 developers has been performing the engineering work on it.
- The system has been widely used for Internet and intranet servers, desktop and laptop computers, as well as for embedded platforms.
- Now the system serves the needs of many commercial companies, computer specialists, individual users and Internet providers all over the world.
- The logo, its meaning and history At the outset, the main logotype of FreeBSD system was a red funny toon little devil, widely known as “Beastie”.
- The hint was made to the “deamon” programmes operating under UNIX systems.
- Besides, there was another logo, “Devilette” depicting a girl in a red demon dress.
- However, many users did not like the idea of having a devil in their computers.
- This official logo is a 3-D red orb with yellowish tones and two small cones coming out from inside the ball.
- Bearing in mind the previous logo, one could say that the orb reminds the small devil’s head, only seen from behind, and the two cones are his horns.
- To the right of the emblem, there is the brand name, “FreeBSD” made in a handwritten font very close to the commercial Arista Pro Alternate Light.
- The logo also exists in a version for dark backgrounds.
- It is the same “devil’s head” but made within a rectangle the upper half of which is black and the lower is dark indigo blue, while the wordmark is written in white.
