I do like the picture aesthetically, but I can see only very loose connection to NixOS (its logo), even the lambdas are oriented the other way than on the logo...

Also /cc @mogorman (author of past release artwork).

Quick design I drafted based on your idea: https://gist.github.com/manveru/ff4880c4c6aff2b31bebf49d539c2b04#file-nixos_jellyfish-svg

I have never understood why people want to have art for an operating system personally. I mean, I am not going to stop you (nor can I), but you are essentially creating more work for me, because all it does it take up space for our purposes.

I am aware of such things as "But distrowatch.com needs a logo and new screenshots". It's just that I do not believe that our target market cares about such things.

@coretemp it isn't a big deal and i don't see how it takes up much time. it also has raised hundreds of dollars for the foundation at this point and will continue to do so.

This one reminds me of USS Enterprise, though it's a bit far-fetched :-)
