Real C# meets build system

It's a product. It helps developers setting up a whole chain of automated process (like testing, compilation, deployment of applications) relevant to software development. The professional term is "build system" (like TeamCity or TravisCI, if anyone heard).

I really like the two black-backgrounded styles/impressions I've selected, because they look very modern. This neon style is nice :)

My first idea: since it contains the word "nuke" (https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/11056/burn_nuclear_nuke_icon) I'm attracted to a mix of the colors black, yellow and white.

Please take into account, that I also would like to derive an icon (128x128) from the final result. So it would be nice to have the text "nuke" not being a part of the logo. Better more beside of that / smoothly integrated. For instance like here: https://plugins.gradle.org/shared-assets/shared/images/gradle-logo-horizontal.svg

The word "nuke" is a bit more important. This is because competitors are having this naming scheme as well:
- Cake (https://cakebuild.net/; biggest competitor)
- CMake https://cmake.org/
- rake
- FAKE



I'm very open to any other ideas! But here are mine:
- https://b2b989d215c701ad63d7-288404e13f895703cf2798bf6ae95228.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/238055148574-350.png --- this one would really work great. It could have "nuke" and "build" as separate terms, and the excavator would allow making a separate icon from it.
- https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/1049932/build_compile_debug_icon --- This one is a very typical animation of the "compilation" process, which I really like. In VisualStudio it is animated as like the arrow is coming from above, pushing some dots into this "bathtub". My first idea was to have the initials "NB" being pushed into a bathtub like this, while the letters itself are dissolving into little rectangles (top solid, bottom rectangles).
