Oh, really?! I know people associate these colors to political parties and sports teams depending on the region they live... Is there anything else considered negative about the blue-red scheme?

No, they are just rectangles.

OK, so it just looks like a link between the top and bottom parts of the S. But since the text-based logo has no votes for now, I'll just ignore it :)

By the way, I forgot to mention that the S in B and C variants also were supposed to symbolize the continuous part of CI. They were supposed to look close to the infinity symbol (drawn vertically).


> The logo comes frustratingly close to ‘CI’ whilst (to my eye) trying very hard not to :-) A bit like the name ‘Cuirass’. Where did that come from, Mathieu?

Pierre asked this same question earlier:

Pierre: Why is it called "Cuirass"? :p
Othacehe: No idea, you would have to ask Mathieu Lirzin about it!

About the integration of this logo with the Guix look, I thought that this logo was for Cuirass itself, not necessarily for the instance available in https://ci.guix.gnu.org/.

If Cuirass Web UI supports theming, the Guix instance could easily change the branding so that it is uniform with the style that has been used so far to name and brand other components. So Guix components like GuixHPC, GuixData, GuixCI, GuixDays, and so on, could use the same graphic style.

(Maybe Guix could use a Guile library defining an SXHTML/CSS theme to make it easier to style the websites of the different Guix components)
