Now now guys, I'm sure Ryan was just expressing his opinion as was I too.  I
never could think of a POV logo so I didn't even try.  I was really not saying
they were bad choices, I must emphasize that.  But the really good ones were
just simply not fitting my idea of a POV logo/icon.
I still like #6 best because of the implied text and 3D but some others would
probably do for that as well.  Okay so everyone using POV-Ray was invited to
vote, good judges or not  :-)

| The purpose of a logo is *not* to demonstrate the software's abilities.
| There are demos scenes for that.

|  - express the nature of Pov (a raytracing engine)
|  - specifically referring to Pov (but how ?), so the logo is'nt
|    suitable to ANY raytracer.
