Speaking of logos...at the risk of opening a huge bucket of paint: 

The current libvirt logo is bit non-intuitive.  Unless you squint at it
to see what it might be about, you won't immediately get an idea what is
trying to tell you.  Not sure if there's appetite to rework the logo
itself.

Let me see if I can describe the image in words: "you're peeling off
some layer and you see little penguins (VMs) get churned out".

(But that's from my biased POV of already knowing what libvirt is.)

For some inspiration, take a look at how the `curl` project went about
redesigning its logo[1].
