What do you people think of the Rust wheel and a television test pattern inside?

What's the licensing situation on that? Otherwise, I like the idea and we have alternatives on what to place inside the wheel, such as:

AFAIK the wheel is ok to use, and the TV pattern is CC BY 2.5.

Here is a first try, from the image linked in the first comment and the image linked in the second comment.

I've added a faint grey border on the rust logo because the test pattern has black boxes. The SVG is in the zip, and you can see a preview below.

I like it.

Wait, the Rust wheel is not symmetrical.. smh 😃 The white border looks quite good. I wonder if it would be better for the the small holes to not show the background? The servo logo has an interesting interplay between foreground and background here but for the abstract shapes of the TV test image it might work better to not have these small cavities with high complexity.

I like the test pattern idea, however I think it has to be simplified a bit to work as a logo, the way it is now I think there are a little too much colors and shapes. Another idea that I experimented a little bit with is to combine the rust wheel with the standard image icon with a mountain and a sun.

Based on the simplified film strip pictogram, a little recoloring to make it more consistent. I still find it fairly complex, and maybe the coloring could be even better. The spacing may not be optimal as well.

Here are some different ideas that I have experimented with.

@birktj I really like the bottom right one: It has some nice color, which would be appropriate for an image group if any, but isn't too forward with it and still very orderly.

Here is my entry.

EDIT
Here is the SVG along with a rasterized preview.

It's been a month since then and I'd like to decide on this rather sooner than later. If anyone has other proposals then please bring them forth until next Sunday. I'd also like to encourage submitting constructive critique on those submitted in the community chat, for example to make one proposal even better or the seek the raw files to edit yourself.

Reviving this topic 😃 I had someone (on fiverr) do three concepts. The offer comes with the possibilities of revisions so your feedback, on color, visual details, other to each of them is appreciated. First of all, the concepts below:
