I also forgot to mention, once it's all figured out, I'm giving the 
copyright of the artwork to the Buildroot project if that's possible, or 
if not, it will be licensed in whatever way you guys want it to so you 
can use it however you want. And if folks do settle on the dark 
background logo, it could require website rework, which I'd also be up 
for taking on if it's desirable.

I forgot to lower-case the R in the previous one, so here is a new one. 
I also realized the symbolic one could be given eyes and it becomes a 
mascot. I like that the abstract one is a hardhat to people who know and 
is just a symbol to others.
