The GNU is nice. How about having a gnu without the text and then
the Guix logo?

All are fine with me, maybe the red is a bit too distracting.

This is not bad at all! The gnu like a watermark is very elegant, I think.
But the Guix logo and the gnu head are stomping on each other's feet. How
about putting the Guix logo in the lower right corner of the frame with the
boot options? Is it possible to drop this frame? I suppose not, but it would
again be more elegant with respect to the gnu watermark.

I agree that in the light version, the background image is more difficult
to spot. If you go for the dark version, how about choosing just white
instead of light grey text color?
