Elaborate, please.  Why does it suck?  What do you mean by pity?

Good idea.

I'll take number 2 or an unpainted number 5 (too garish w/ paint!). At 
least one, probably several.

I've put up a version of this without paint for folks to see. Same URL.

I rather like it.

One very probably, perhaps two depending on price
and shipping costs.

Keep it simple, please. I like the second.
But I think a rather simple circle with the logo would to it.
No colors please, too easily damaged.

The size you mentioned (around 7 cm) is a bit too
big for me (but I'll probably buy anyway).

I think the logo in a simple 4 cm circle is right
for my usage.

It depends on the final price.  Given the current $AUS - $US exchange
rate, (ie, totally abysmal!) I may not be able to justify or afford one.
(Right now, $US20 ~= $AUS40)

Currently #2 and #6 (the words with no colours)

I like chains 1 and 2 (2 slightly more than 1)...

I just wanted to express my opinion after seeing that #2 has so far been the
majority favorite.  Like I said at the pre-beta group, that design is placed
onto a dogtag shape which seems too common to me.  Hopefully there will be
more to judge from soon.

Chris's design might seem too large, but I doubt IRL it would be.  Anything
2 inches, or about 5 cm, in the long dimension should be ergonomic enough.
Maybe 3.5 cm round if circular in shape.  And I'd like more to be there than
just the logo symbol.  Fabien Mosen's design is too minimalist IMHO, were it
not for the script backdrop.  Not that I have say alone but what we need is
lots of opinions, suggestions, designs to ferret out the right one for
general POVers.  Then at least we know we wouldn't be missing a great idea.

Bob H.
