From version 1 to version 2 you changed the shape of the edge so it looks
more like an eye. That is good I think!

From version 2 to version 3 you changed the pupil. That was not good I
think. You should change it back to being a simple sphere. That seems to be
what others say too.

Since version 1 you have also changed the colors. You have used a form of
red-green gradient for the edge. I personally preferred the plain colors
like in logo 1. Not so much the particular colors you used, but the fact
that you didn't use a gradient, and that the edge and pupil were two
different, yet close colors. I think it looked more stylistic and less
see-how-colorful-I-can-make-it-like.

However, it seems that many others prefer the gradient.

I think you should keep it that way. It's more like an eye-brow this way,
than if the edge ended in a perfect half circle. Not that anybody said that
you should change it, it was just a comment.

By the way, I don't think the black and white version should have those
white highlights. I liked your own version better.
