Please choose one. emacs_128-2.png is better than emacs_128-2.png. 1. The ~horizontal movement seems to be more in line with what a writing hand would do. 2. If a letter is slanted at all, its top usually leans to the right (as in italic or oblique), not to the left. 3. You can see the leftmost upcurve of the gnu horns better, so the horns are more recognizable as such. Nice image. Where would it be used? Would it also be used as a tiny, tiny icon?
