I like number 2 very much. The other arrangements tend to be a bit too
amstract, I think.
The design has very simple lines and is colourful. It would scale very well
from 32x32 to infinity and is a perfect static logo. Love it.
Doesn't lend itself to cute animation, as you said.
On the other hand, an icon with less stylised gnus doesn't scale well.
I think this would be a very good static icon for HURD and maybe we could use
a more cute one as a secondary icon. ie. Use this one for the business side
of HURD, and a cutsy one for the fun side of HURD
