Okay. I didn't have time, yet, to do the promised comparison but I
will.

No worries. There is no obligation to change anything. However, here
[0] is the polished Tails logo, should you change your mind. It is just
an upgrade to what we have here [1].

I do not think people will think this :)

No worries, though this is a self-conflicting POV.

It would, or frown, as seen in the attached document [0], as the
impression is a mechanical fastening technique to hold in the
ever-shrinking boards; nano size USB sticks use this approach.

We should polish what we have instead of starting over and changing the
branding. Maybe 2.0 is an appropriate time.
