I'm in for at least one, whichever is chosen.

My preference is either #11 (first) or #10 (second)

Both would be enhanced with the back from #1.

    Yes, I really liked the back of #1, but couldn't deal with the little
snag hook. I need the organs near my pants pocket.

That #11 looks familiar... :-)

Still #10
I hope the hole is big enough to fit the ring through,
the examples have a chain but the first thing I do is
take the chain off because they break anyhow. They usually
have that weak link that always pulls apart. I do
double or triple rings instead, it's more durable.

    I found some stainless steel 1/8 in oval link chain and rings at an
industrial supply store (the chain was $9 / ft). The rings went down to 1/4
diameter. They were hard to put together but have lasted since 1982.

    The problem with putting rings right on the fob is that they don't lay
flat in the pocket. If you don't put your keys in your pocket, it's not a
problem and that works really well.

No no. For a moment I was indulging in the self-delusion that that
particular one bore a semblance to the 'keyfob' I submitted a while ago :-)

POV-Ray tenth anniversary happened in 2001. This will never be
outdated.

I have posted a sort-of survey to try to address the issues
raised by answers to your query. Everyone seems to want parts
of every design.

Anyway, here are my comments on the designs:

I will probably not buy a keychain that has a "You know you've
been..." sentence. I really dislike it on keychains. I guess
I'm on the "keychain-is-a-serious-thing" side, instead of the
"keychain-is-a-fun-gadget" one. Especially because the price
is rather high.

I like the shape of #6 a lot. If it had "1991-2001 10th anniversary"
and "http://www.povray.org/" instead of "You know you've been", it
would be my favorite.

As for favorites:

#9
#11
