Yes, of all of them, I also prefer to initial one.  (I now see what you
meant by “too thin”, though maybe tighter inter-letter spacing could
have helped.)

One last thing: it occurred to me that it may be wise to add “GNU”
somewhere (because of “the GNU system” and so on), maybe above the “u”,
or below the “G”, in a smaller typeface.  (I understand this is
additional work, and hope you won’t kill me. ;-))

WDYT?  Does it look feasible at all with this design?

Makes sense.  Would you like to email licensing@gnu.org?

Thanks!
