This part looks good...though I won't comment on the absence of an iris 
again...

The tail looks better proportioned now, and the yellow color looks just 
right.(it *was* a little bright in the previous version)
One suggestion: rotate it clockwise a couple degrees, it looks like it 
is slowly rolling backward. Just enough to make the red part a bit 
lower, I think.

Hmm, I think it looks like a slightly surprised hydroge...gack.....

Seriously, I don't think there is enough there to show emotion. If you 
want it to have an emotion to it, you need to add more: a separate iris 
and pupil, actual eyelids, and eyebrows. At which point you have much 
more than a simple logo...
I mean, try imagining different expressions: anger, happyness, etc, but 
only keeping a stylized outline of one eye in mind.(the sphere in the 
middle gives practically no information) With a pupil and iris, the 
relative size of the pupil indicates some of the degree of alertness, 
fear, etc, but even that isn't much without an eyebrow and eyelids.

I don't think a logo really needs an expression though...leave that to 
the POV-Mascot. :-)
