 In my eyes only #14 and #17 are acceptable.

 #14 needs a little tweaking. The elements should be a bit thicker, just
 slightly more robust. There should be an imaginary circle at the center.

 #17 would have to be reduced to just one shape for the 14 (and 16?)
 pixel size.

 Note that I don't think we should bother about 14 and 16 px sizes too
 much. Having a blob of color that does not look like just any other blob
 of color is already an achievement at that scale.

 #37 is a good concept, but the differing treatment of the straight lines
 seems odd. The thin lines mean scaling is no fun at all.

 #26 and especially #25 are attractive, but not clear enough in their
 relation to our realm.


 All the thick brushes seem clumsy. The few splattery approaches don't
 speak of planning and precision. While artistic gusto could come in as
 an aspect, it can't be the dominant feature.


 As far as I'm concerned we are still open for submissions until at least
 1st of February.

 I just edited the spec to actually list the Launchpad icon sizes (14,
 64, 192 px, how could we miss that?).

Thorsten,

Thank you for offering your opinion but let's not judge or pre-judge
submissions in this manner. I have my personal favorite as I am sure many on
this list do.

Best regards,

John

How could an opinion come without judgment?

I don't care about personal favorites. I care about what the logo should
say, that it does say it, that it shows craftsmanship in execution.
