Suddenly, servers are shown as hardware. Those are very technical, more like what you will see from a hosting company. Not particularly clear to people unfamiliar with data centres, and not very welcoming. They are also inconsistent with how servers are shown in other places. I believe those should depict planets instead?
All the nice elephant illustrations use planets to represent servers, as does the introduction animated video. I think it’s a great metaphor :)
Then there are these two icons:

Additionally, the decentralised icon could also show different planets connecting to each other to keep the concept clear all the way:
