I prefer that the BSD Daemon be used in the context of BSD software.
Clearly your usage qualifies. You have already provided a link to my
copyright message, so I don't need to request that you do that :-)
The highest resolution image that I have is available at
http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/gif/bsd4_3.gif. See also
http://www.zer0.org/daemons/wc/standing_daemon.jpg. Alternatively,
there is a vectorized version that can be scaled to any size you
want in /usr/[src/]share/examples/BSD_daemon on recent FreeBSD
distributions.
My only correction to the BSD_Daemon web page is that daemon and demon
are really different words. A daemon comes from the old English and
means a deified being (half-man and half god) while a demon is an
evil spirit.
