Which 4 logos are you talking about? I see 6 color palletes, with 4
variations based on font:

I have no strong opinion on the fonts. They all look readable. It would
be nice if the font was already in Debian, but that's fixable, so no big
deal.

With colors, I have preference for #3-6, especially those with higher
contrast. The internet is already so saturated with blue-on-blue.

And because it's almost relevent, let's think about this like mantis
shrimp:
