I am forced to ask--did you actually try scaling them? The tree, triangle, and
triskele designs, which received the most votes, remain recognizable at 16x16 
(little details like the tree's leaves and the triskele's loops are inevitably lost,
but the overall shapes remain clear).  Details like colour and reflection are
easy to change--it's the basic shape that's important in a logo.

Based on your reaction, I suspect that what I presented actually looks
too finished.  That's my fault, though--really, I know better.

I think this is the heart of the matter.  Eventually, someone's going to have
to tally the votes and hand them over to Timothy for a decision, but I
don't think there's any hurry.
