I think a variant of Paul's logo works more than Richard's logo (sorry Rich). Paul's, by being more stylized, will translate to other media easier (t-shirts, laptop bags, stitched-onto the breast pocket of polo-shirts, pencil cases, oyster card holders, cuddly toys, spray-painted onto Harley Davidson's etc...). As to the variants on offer, I prefer Paul's original to the two offered variants, altho' there is definite merit in accenting the facet-ness of the gem a little bit more somehow.
<br><br>As to Rich's design I like it, but think I agree with James, I'm not sure we should be *so* close to the ruby-lang site? Altho' anyone who has had the misfortune to visit my site should probably disregard everything I say about design.
