Which is why I thought a two-armed spiral, based on a real galaxy,
would be appropriate.  Clearly different from Debian's spiral, anyway.

I submitted this logo last night. It's not a 'real' galaxy but points in that direction. It solves the visual limitation of spiral + some text tacked on which just wasn't working IMO:

This is a VERY rough concept - almost pencil on paper - that attempts to merge Gravis' negative spiral with the font of the logo. It also echoes the yin/yang motif of an early logo submission and the infinity symbol. Using just the swirl on the LH or RH side is also a possibility. The font is Paprika ( http://www.1001freefonts.com/paprika.font ) which has a Public domain, GPL, OFL license.

If you don't like the colors - favs of mine - just use your imagination. ;) It was late, I was tired. And I just wanted to get something on 'paper'.

I'm hoping that someone with serious Inkscape skills (that's not me) will jump in to take this idea to the next level.

Cheers!
