very spiffy glowing red Nice work :D
Yuck
I highly dislike both the logo and the graphical profile.
What is it supposed to mean? The shape makes me feel sick and the aqua-lookalike fancy-schmancy effect is fake and disturbing.
The font looks like it was accidentally substituted before rendering the image.
Today's constructive criticism : )

I agree completely
The "Aqua glassy" look is so completely overdone it makes me want to puke. And this logo takes it to the extreme. The font, well, it is what it is – looking more like an accidental substitution at the RIP rather than a design choice. And I also don't like the slogan on the same line as the logo type - it would look better directly beneath the FreeBSD and left justified.

Nice concept bad execution
I actually really like the concept and think it's a nice evolution of the original awful cartoon devil logo. As has been said above the trouble is that everything is far too shiny. By far the best executions are the single color design, which are beautifully understated.
As for the typography, yes it is a bit amateur hour for me, but at least he has made the effort to design a bespoke font. With a little work it could be great.
I only hope that freeBSD don't take the designs as they are, but instead work with Anton to improve and implement them properly.
