That's an interesting twist to the game!
I like Strip-C the most.

As for [1], I find the A-series uniquely intriguing.  
The B-Series is a blowup of the A-Series.  I don't think the extra
details are appropriate for logos.  Most times, logos are presented
small ... those twiddly bits won't be visible. If they were, the will
look too busy.

Series-C is very matured but intel-ish.  Reminds me of the kind of logos
Intel likes to use.  But I like them a lot -- simple and
straightforward.  I've also seen a better Cloud logo for Series-C in a
more recent post (the one were all the cloud bits are symmetrically
unequal)

Series-D lacks appeal for reasons I can't easily identify.  Perhaps its
the colours.  Maybe, Series-C could loose the intel looks if it borrowed
the fedora-logo outline (like the ones in Series-D).  The symbolism in
Series-D also fails to communicate the intended purpose. A crossed
square for server?  I don't get the connection.  The workstation logo
looks like it will be better for server.  The cloud one might be better
off without the line.  

As per colours, i have noticed that lime-green, orange and light-purple
are being marketed the most.  Why is this happening?  What's the
rationale behind those colours?  Can't we use something that doesn't
have a psychological connection to other distros?  I immediately think
SUSE when I see green tech-logos.  Likewise, Ubuntu comes to mind with
the orange ones.  I think purple will sit well with Servers according to
my perception of "colour psychology". Perhaps gray will be more amenable
for Desktop and Sky-blue for Cloud.  Just my thought though.  

Nice work Sarup
