I fully agree: the two best submissions combined in one picture.
Except... (see below).

I would vote for not including an architecture name, nor a version number
(2.0). A logo should be simple, and it should not outdated just after
it's released.

Of course, some variants could be made, but I think it's a good idea
to keep textual additions outside the rectangle containing the logo.

One variant could (and should) be the logo with the text "Powered by"
above it, for example to be used on WWW home pages on Linux servers.
