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).

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)
