The first one is much better, I think. The second one is too symmetric and
vertically stacked. Something to try, maybe: As in the grub screen, make
the gnu more subtle, like a watermark in the background. But then it would
need to be moved away from the wave; maybe more to the top left of the screen,
"riding on the wave". Something you could also try independently of the
watermark, by the way.

I prefer the first solution with gnu logo to the one without logo.

As Bruno, I am not sure the text "login" is needed, although it has its
graphic appeal. Whether we would want to have the text "GNU", I do not have
an opinion (yet?).
