My personal favorite is the first one because of the stronger reflections and the arrows between images that clear up things and may even make the text below optional.

So I added versions with stronger outlines, as a border shadow is no option because of perspective. I'm in awe of your 3D-Ubunutu-Logo version! This is genious! Overall, with that white background, I like the ones with the stronger outline more, it makes a better contrast, the others look a little bit blurred (on white background!).

So I added versions with stronger outlines, as a border shadow is no option because of perspective. My preference goes to this set. I guess it's because I'm mainly using KDE Crystal icons, which are using the same style. As for the width, the long ones are still ok with me!

Re: [ubuntu-art] some artwork for Ubuntu Brainstorm
These icons are interesting but lack a certain presence. Perhaps adding some contrast and adding a 40% to 60% gray blended border shadow would help?
