Branding issues: logo and font about nixos-artwork HOT 2 CLOSED

Those explorations look great already. For making a final choice, you might want to consider:

How recognizable the lambda shape should be.

• the 'shape' variants don't work that well from that perspective
• The versions with one or multiple differently colored elements put more emphasis on the individual lambda element

Do you want the overall shape to be more solid or be more dynamic

• The hexagon outline makes things a bit more solid, also more snow flake like
• The cicle outline makes it a bit more dynamic overall

As a personal opinion, the 'hex, feature' version is the most expressive version with a strong character. I like the one accented element and the hex outline enforces the overall idea of the interlocking elements.

For the print variations, I would never put the name inside the logo element. It makes the text too small, the logo too big resulting in an imbalanced overall appearance.

For the typeface, could do worse than Fira: https://mozilla.github.io/Fira/

good luck!
