Quoting the =E2=80=98THEMES=E2=80=99 file in SLiM:

  GENERAL CONCEPT
      A SLiM theme essentially consists of:
      - a background image (background.png or background.jpg)
      - a panel image (panel.png or panel.jpg)
      - input box(es) and messages and their placement
        and properties (slim.theme)

      The panel and background images can be a PNG or JPEG file.
      The panel is blended into the background image,
      taking care of alpha transparency.

I suppose the logo could go into the =E2=80=9Cpanel image.=E2=80=9D  I=E2=
=80=99ll try that.

Felipe, feel free to commit the background as SVG in guix-artwork.git.

Thanks!
