A maybe boring question,
Is there any design/colour guidelines that forbid the use of some of the colour combinations?
Asking because we have such guidelines at work, but I haven't seen any in Debian.

I don't necessarily agree with this, as a combination logo like this
one should, obviously, combine elements from and stress both origins.
As much as we "tune" Rust crates for Debian, they are still *Rust*
crates. But in this specific case, the Rust cog (IIRC) usually comes in
black, a neutral color, and the Rust Foundation didn't limit its color
(set) in their trademark/logo policy, so it so happens we could
"ignore" the "Rust color".

Ferris the crab is the *unofficial* mascot for Rust, as stated on
https://rustacean.net/. +1 that it'd be nice and cute to have it in
_some_ logo, but I'd prefer our "official" logo to be based on the
"official" Rust logo i.e. the cog. Ferris could be in an additional,
"unofficial" logo.
Though this is just personal opinion. Feel free to debate and convince
the team ;)
In a practical sense, this means we need a new design. AFAICT this
warrants a new commission thus a new reimbursement request.

Or a round one, but I don't think so. If anything, the Debian swirl is
not rectangular nor round.
