It could be confusing and a market disadvantage if the logo used for the alpha doesn't have a resemblance to the one that will finally represent Devuan. To date there has been almost no feedback from the VUAs (who will make the final decision) on the direction(s) they would prefer. That's understandable as they have more important work to do ATM. But without their direction, the design team is a bit adrift in still waters. The best solution would probably be to use a text identity until the graphics get sorted after the alpha is released.

For the record . . . I submitted a background proposal using a photo taken by a friend in Antarctica a few years ago.

Be aware though . . . those are Gentoo penguins!
