Ahh, perfect! I never liked those. :)

I actually thought about suggesting Chris to remove them back when he had
just submitted the logo, but for some reason I never did. I did suggest it
to TonyB though, who originally also had highlights in the b/w version of
his logo.

In my experience a design can be stylish and it can be dynamic. But not both
at the same time. I think this applies to this logo as well. If you rotate
it 25 degrees clockwise it will appear more dynamic but less stylish. I
personally definitely prefer the stylish version (not rotated). I think when
rotated it looks odd and unbalanced. I wonder if the votes would have been
different if... Never mind, it's your decision! :)
