you're probably infringing the Rust trademark by using their logo about crab HOT 8 CLOSED

I think there's some mixup between the Rust mascot and the Rust logo here. Crab lang isn't using the Rust logo anywhere (or at least I haven't seen it used), they're using a modified version of the Rust mascot, Ferris - which is allowed.

As far as I know (someone correct me if I'm mistaken), the two work like this:

Mascot - Can Use ✅

The crab (Ferris the Rustacean) is Rust's unofficial mascot, which was released into the public domain, by the creator (Karen Rustad Tölva) who has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to Ferris

Logo - Cannot Use ❌

I'm a little surprised that the crab isn't wielding a pointy fork, this being a fork of Rust and all

Ferris is iconic, and isn't associated with the Rust Foundation. I think it would be a shame to see him go.
On a side note, I love the mischievous knife crab-lang Ferris, created by @trvswgnr (?) - nice work :)

Green would be good?

But crabs aren't green.... (though I did make a green one this weekend, so I'm not one to judge! 😉🦀)

It is not hard to create a new Logo of a Crab even using different colors like blue, there are many crabs. Green would be good?

Obviously stylised so some inspiration from the original at a superficial level so a similar camera angle but totally different. Perhaps could work with eyelashes as an indicatative nod and acceptance of all sexualities etc.. and positivity towards female coders, but would have to be classic and not excessive.

@Meow-purr - So long as it's attributed (which it is), and not modified (which it isn't) no trade mark policies have been violated here. Source Rust Foundation's Logo Policy.
