----------------------------------
I like https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12349896/logo-solr-e.jpg

, because they're simple and scale down well. It should be possible
to scale the logo, or a salient part of it, as small as a favicon
(16x16) and still have it easily recognized. Most of the designs
above require a lot of pixels to be recognizable. A good logo
should be iconic more than textual--an abstract symbol.
Often you can sample an element of a logo to form a favicon (like we
do with Lucene's 'L'). So, when voting, think about whether there's
an easily identifiable sample (e.g., is the typeface of the 'S'
distinctive?).
Lots of the designs do have distinctive "suns" that would make good
favicons (after re-vectorizing; those gradients would not rescale
nicely).
