I doubt it. You and I think about init freedom daily. The person
reading the logo? Not so much. Also, what does "init freedom" give
them? We know, but do they?

Honestly, I know it's hip today to say nothing negative, but I think
maybe the best motto is "Don't get stuck with systemd", with that
phrase being an obvious link, leading to a short list of reasons why
you don't want to get stuck with systemd:

* Systemd is DIY hostile
* For problems not on the systemd diagnostic "script", systemd makes
troubleshooting much more difficult
* Systemd has a gargantuan attack surface
* Systemd affirmatively and intentionally stumbling-blocks other init
installations.
* Systemd replaces working solutions with new, questionable solutions
