How would you feel about this derivative logo for Nonguix?

Hi,

Nonguix would like to have a logo. @jonsger contacted me asking if I'd 
be interested in helping them with that, based on logo ideas from the 
community. I don't use nonguix myself, so I thought I wouldn't have the 
motivation to design a logo. But I couldn't help it and suggested to 
reuse the GNU Guix logo (which is a free cultural work after all) and 
proposed the following designs:

https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/issues/317

That page also mentions the reasoning behind the derivative logo.

I don't see any issue if Nonguix uses such a logo (specially variant 
D2), but what do you think about it? They don't want to upset the GNU 
Guix community.

Cheers,

I like this. There's a clear visual continuity, but with warnings and (in options B-D) part of the Guix horns covered up as well, emphasizing the "non."

I had read rms's "install fest devil" idea and immediately thought of it when I saw your options, even without making the connection that the red line was a tail (I thought it was an arrow pointing left?) - it might be an obscure reference to many but I think your execution was spot on in that regard.

Not that my say-so carries any weight, but one thumbs up from me.

Cheers,
Ryan

Absolutely gorgeous! I like A1, although in a fit of disrespect I might
have placed the horns upside down like a scorpion...

Great work. The project is very lucky to have you!

Kind regards
Felix

P.S. Please do not use Nonguix if you can avoid it.

Variant D2 is my favourite.

I think it would be best to avoid the all-caps look, though, because
we're already losing the fight in correcting people who insist on
writing "GUIX" as if it was an acronym.  "RTOS GUIX" is the name of the
Microsoft thing.

Perhaps the tail could be a little curved towards the end?

Thank you all so far for your feedback. I'm taking note of your 
suggestions and the suggestions on Gitlab.

I'll give the thread a few more days before trying new logo variants 
based on your feedback. Hopefully, it'll get more comments in the meantime.

Cheers,
