Just to get the creativity rolling...

I found out that when you abstrahise (if that's a word in English) the
capital letters to very primitive typographic baseforms, the resulting
shapes for DEVUAN begin to reveal rhythm and continuity. It makes me
think of a rhyme scheme or the music score of a waltz. It could be nice
to play some more with these elements and see what can be made of it.

One could also use those shapes separately in styling, on navigation
buttons or such.

I'd like to try out more of such ideas, possibly with less strict
mathematical forms (more like natural writing, or with more conventional
typographic shapes for readability) in combination with the proposed
mascotte designs.

You (anyone) can use my Inkscape sketch file if you like to:
