Since I completely agree with Bruno, here is the GRUB image proposal
using the GNU logo:

If something impedes us to name the system just GNU (I hope not) here
are the variation of the Guix background I promised.

One of the comments was that the red color could be distracting, so here
are versions with gray, green and blue instead. I also made the text a
bit lighter to increase contrast.

GRAY:

I also tried to add the GNU logo somewhere, as Ludovic suggested. It was
difficult, so I made this version with the GNU head on the background.

Finally, I made a dark text on light background version, as Andreas
suggested. Personally, I'd go with the dark one.
