Glad to hear you like it.

Yes something like that would be fine, I think.

Yeah, I tried with a narrower G before using the round one and didn't

Some people on IRC didn't like the logo much. And someone said that the

Google is copying me :)

My intention is to keep helping GNU subprojects whenever I have some 
time, so I'm glad these humble changes are well received.
