I like how direct the NixOS branding page is. Instead of making you dig through deep menus, it gives you a clean grid of logo assets right away. You can view horizontal and vertical layouts across light and dark backgrounds, covering everything from the default gradient to monochrome and rainbow variants. What caught my eye is that each card provides not just an SVG download button, but also a copyable direct asset URL. It makes grabbing what you need completely frictionless for developers and designers who just want to link or drop in an icon.
