[Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

[Tim Cuthbertson]

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I hadn't seen that haskell logo page,
good to know where this stuff comes from. My variants definitely take
out the "snowflake" qualities for a bit more of a blocky geometrical
look. Which I think works well for a logo, but might be biased ;)

I've now added a circular-crop variant, plus a slant-circle variant
(the slanted version, but cropped to a circle). I think they look
neat, and the slanted version in particular seems like an improvement.
But extending the lambda legs to the circle's edge does make the
lambda a bit unbalanced.

FWIW my favourite so far is the hexagon version, either hex-none or
hex-half (which could be made a bit darker). I initially liked the
slant version because it's more visually interesting, but I think it
might turn out to look a bit haphazard in the long run.

Cheers,
 - Tim.
