How to Fit the FreeBSD Logo in a Perfect Circle

May 27, 2026 Mastodon RSS

The FreeBSD and Apple logos are quite similar.
Both have a heavy base and leaves / tails on top.

Apple and FreeBSD logos compared by their heavy base and top detail, followed by a wrong circular crop approach



This is how Apple fits its logo into a circle

Apple logo centered on the circular top surface of a black HomePod


With guides:

Apple HomePod top with orange circular guides around the speaker surface and Apple logo



Apple tries to keep heavy center closer to the center of the surface:

Apple logo on the HomePod with orange guides showing its mass placed close to the center surface



So the mass aligned to the center: Blurred Apple logo mass aligned inside an orange center circle on the HomePod


We can apply that same logic to the FreeBSD logo too

FreeBSD logo on the HomePod with orange guides showing the same center-mass approach

Blurred FreeBSD logo mass aligned inside an orange center circle on the HomePod

FreeBSD logo fitted cleanly into the circular center of the HomePod
