Praise the Lord, Chris Huff is happy!

Yes, but good colors escaped me, so I forgot about it.

Oh, so *now* you want blue? ;)  It sounds like that would make it overly
complex.

O... K... I don't think that's the image we want to show... this logo
represents an ideal situation, not reality. ;)

Maybe you could add some shadow to the iris ( as you did to the lettering)
to give more depth to the picture.

Sorry if I was sounding picky...

I made an attempt, see the attached image. No black/white version yet, 
though it would be pretty simple.

Well, not "sky blue" or "water blue", dark purplish electric blue. 
Something to say "high tech", not "fresh, pure water". :-)


> It sounds like that would make it overly complex.

It would just be an additional circle in the black/white version, and 
would make it look a lot more like an eye.

It's OK.

Hmmm... good colors. I'll modify mine. :)

It does.

Hm.

IMO, it gets over-done. The logo looks good with just two elements. More
would corrupt it, especially at low-res. It sorta looks more like an eye,
but I find it somewhat too less stylized; it like loses some of its
easyness.

Oh, well.

Simen.

Greetings!

This effect is a supplement to the "grep 'logo' /etc/collectedWisdom" 
thread on povray.general.

Premise:  Rather than a given logo with a set colour scheme, why not an 
_effect_ which can be bundled in an .inc and rendered into any scene?

All due credit to TonyB.

Henry.

    That's what I was trying to say all along. -Something- that can be
subtly introduced to each scene that will tip people off as to what they are
looking at...
