Thats what matters in the end, that you like it, because as much as it is the end users tool, it's your creation.
I'm glad you didn't misconstrue what I said as petty or argumentative, after all, you know someone would have started this if I hadn't. I just wanted to give my opinion and I'm not much for censoring myself when it comes to the internet.

After having time to experience the icon I can now clarify my view.
When I first saw the design I thought it looked amazing but threw out all our ideas. I thought with a bit of tweaking it would not only look as a beautiful as ttk1opc intended but as representative as everyone wanted.
And, as I said, having had time with the logo, I noticed how the one in the main menu is horribly ugly. It looks like paint between train tracks with some kind of black smudge across. It is indecipherable, I cannot work out what it is even having seen the enlarged ones.

This is exactly why Magnum Leno posted links on How-To's and why everybody was preaching simplicity, because when you scale it down everything is compacted to a size and shape beyond recognition. Unless, they are barely more than simple shapes.

Like I said, it's handsome and as you explained, if fits your criteria. But if I have any last input, please reconsider the smaller versions. They're no longer slick like their bigger brothers, but clunky.
