What worries me about staying close to the GNU branding is that it could
create the confusion RMS wants to avoid (people thinking that GuixSD is
*the* GNU OS and GNU's head its logo). He even suggested having a logo
for Guix and GuixSD [1][2]. So I think it would be better to play it
safe and avoid any conflict within the GNU Project. We can still
emphasise the close relationship between GuixSD and the GNU Project, and
hence the proposal of a wildebeest head as the logo for GuixSD too.

No problem. Take your time.

Thank you everyone for your feedback, and d4n1 for the alternative logo.
