Too thin?

Hmm, OK.

Not really. Unfortunately, I’m not good at finding fonts.
Could you perhaps send several examples with a sample of sans-sérif
that you have? :-)

Oh, funny. :-)
It first made me think of an evocation of additive colors, which
reminded of TV-related things, such as this French TV broadcasting
company:

Yes. Perhaps I’d use more pastel colors.

GPL + GFDL (but I’m the one who made that choice) :
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/graphics/
I think it covers all our practical use cases, and there’s not much at
stake anyway. WDYT?
Anyway, I think it’d be good to converge quickly, so could you come up
with just a few variants of this design, so we can choose from there and
be happy? :-)
Thanks,
