IMHO the first one that Fotios posted in the white on black logos

seems to have the best sense of space and the use of bold feels

balanced (although there are some small kernings that could help... I

feel like I want to separate the O and the C by a fraction of a hair).

It also seems to be eminently readable without an advanced degree even

though the T is disturbed and \forall was used as an upside down A. To

me, the set-looking \mathbb{O} could be construed to resonate with the

oft mentioned idea that Octave is a superset language, \forall seems

to be a statement of inclusiveness or target audience, and the

\nu-looking V could be interpreted as a hint at the presence of the

GNU project. Just my 2c.

It would be nice to keep the \infty somehow, possibly in the background. However, notice that the
combination of O anc C almost comprise an infinity symbol. Any way to combine them enough to result
in a dual purpose combination? To be read both as OC and as an \infty depending on how you look at
it. It also helps that the super T sets of the OC before it already.

FWIW, I like the forall, making sense to both those who know what it means and those who don't but
can still see it is meant to stand for an A.

The e is the last letter to have a special purpose. Eaton comes to mind. Any way to make an
attribution here?

Here is what you asked for 

and here is the Latex code for it

\text{O}\hspace{-0.07cm}\text{C}^\text{T}\forall\mathcal{VE}
