The patch is trivial, please apply or comment on its deficiencies.  Thanks!

The guide is probably being pulled or marked "out of date/unmaintained," because it's so ancient. Most likely the former. We need an updated version for FreeBSD8 or whatever it is G/FBSD is using these days. There's no point in adding logos (which we haven't done for any other document, actually) if the guide is just going to be removed.

I don't see why some possible later action on that article is a reason against applying a dead-simple patch now that you have not criticized content-wise.
Reasons to apply the patch:

 - It makes the page look better while it's still there

 - It helps spreading the revived artwork project though its link

 - It gives long overdue credit to the original artist

 - The logo is shown on <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/bsd/fbsd/>, too.
   The only difference is that that's project space.

I see that you want to be a quality gatekeeper on some content but standing in the way with this patch doesn't help anything, especially not quality.  Please apply my patch so we can I forget this and move on.

GDP members, by which I mostly mean me, get to bugs when they have time and inclination. Repeated bumps of a bug don't usually help, y'know!

Anyway, I added the logo, although I moved it down to the "what is gentoo/freebsd" paragraph, since otherwise it might confuse users into thinking that it's the actual FreeBSD logo if it appeared in the "what is freebsd" paragraph.

Fixed in CVS; should show up on the mirrors within an hour.

I don't really share that logic.  The major title -- visibly shown in bold -- is "A short guide to Gentoo/FreeBSD" after all.  I don't see any chance of mixing it up with FreeBSD and I think the logo is rather displaced in the middle where it is.
