I had some free offline time, so I made some drafts for a nix logo. If
you had already settled on something else or you want to do this
yourselves that's fine. Else, let me know what you think.

I did all these quite fast, but with more time in the cat and if I
find the right font I'm sure it can look much better. I've also
included some drawings in bw, because I don't think a logo which needs
color is fine (in particular, I don't think you want orange: orange is
a bitch).

Some more examples done with a bit more of time. I won't do any more
for the moment, but let me know if you have any idea and I will give
it a try. I know you like nixie tubes and cats, but I can draw
anything else you tell me. By the way, I would never use something
like nix_01 for a logo, but I have added it to show how the letters
are supossed to look like nixie tubes (I don't know if that was
clear).

my comment on the logos

Put them both up if you want. The first one you mentioned had the
orangy flavor of nixie tubes. The second one is nice and compact, and
I like the way the cat is only partially seen.

My wife preferred the second one with the orangy color from the first one.

Also, the logo does a really good job of evoking nixie tubes. But, to
make the look perfect, if you can, would be neat to have
N on top, I in middle, X in back -- on ALL of them -- then have the
desired letter really stand out. So, e.g., on the middle one, the 'I'
would be faintly visible in from of the N, and in the last one, the N
and I faintly visible in from of the X. Easy for me to say, I'm not
the one doing this beautiful work!

Ok. I vote for this one.

Could you guys vote and, say, tomorrow we put in the web
the one that won?

It's not getting married, I mean, we can change our mind
even if we have a logo already in place in the web :)

I vectorized and cleaned all the logos a long time ago for the lsub web
(attached).
