Agreed on the second style.
Definitely.

I think trying to cram too much information inside a small
exhagon is not going to look great. If you look at most other
stickers, they don't include things such as the URL either.
Exactly. And libvirt is not a word of many meanings. Google "libvirt" and
there is no confusion what the sticker is supposed to represent.

Agreed. The lighter green background also mostly works, but only
with the grey text variation of the logo.
I'd vote from second one from the top row. Did you try making a circular (or
hexagonal) gradien tthat would start as white in the center and continued to the
outside where it would end up as a border of the same colour as the one I voted
for? Might be very ugly, but also pretty nice, hard to say without any trying =)
