Anyone remember the original freshmeat logo? For the life of me I couldn't find it, but it was basically a softcore-skin as the background for the freshmeat text. I looked at the internet archive, and the older sites had a broken link for the logo.

Anyways, seems funny to see them innocently tip toeing around this 'brand problem' they're having without acknowledging they basically had a softcore-porn logo for their first year or so.

I kept a few screenshots from the old days. Check out this one from September 28, 1998 (complete with vintage Netscape browser action around it)...

Edit: it has the logo in question. I thought this was a person who was crowd-surfing. Yeesh.

I sent an email to the freshmeat team a really long time ago (around 2001?) asking them what the image was in the background of it. If I remember correctly, they said it was an image at Lollapalooza. Unfortunately I don't have the original email.

The logo doesn't load, unfortunately. Do you have a screenshot or mirror?
