And then there is my "3 spheres" logo, which pretty much requires the 
red/green/blue colors(the text colors are less important, but they were 
also chosen for a reason).

I don't think this should be a requirement, although it might be a 
recommendation in the rules. I can't really think of a good reason to do 
this.

Good idea.

Actually, what I was thinking of was allowing one of the 3 "fancy" or 
"custom" versions to be a larger size. 120*120 isn't that big on many 
monitors, and many of the smaller details on the fancy versions could be 
lost...an upper limit should be set, of course, maybe 300*300.
