Well, I didn't know it was decided to use GuixSD icon for Guix as well. 
I agree with Mathieu and Chris Marusich: use the same icon is fine, but 
not the same text. For example:

~v~ Guix
~v~ GuixSD

If this is OK, then I think we should:

- Add an updated Guix logo to the artwork repo.
- Send a copy to GNU womb for update.
- Update https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/
- Update https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/graphics/
- Update https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/help/

I can do the above, so yes? :)
