Um.. actually, no.

Those are GIFs? O.o

Well.. that would explain it then...

To be honest.. I don't like it. As a shape it's too unbalanced. The
space between the blob and the sphere is distracting compared to the
objects, which are nice and round. I also think my brain has a problem with
the fat part being at the top; I'm probably expecting a shape like that to
tip over. Finally I'm not sure it makes a good eye either. Eyes don't
usually have white between the iris and the eyelid unless you're dead or
really, really scared. All this adds up to making me a bit uneasy when I see
this.

But hey, this is me. You seem to have plenty of adherents so this shouldn't
discourage you from developing this further.

Uhh, very close to perfect I think!

I prefer the more smooth gradient in my own version R1, and the slightly
more visible shading (your version looks more flat), but that really isn't
important. I don't think you need to change anything.

I think it would be great if you instead concentrated on making up
completely new logos. The more good logos we get, the better.

Nobody has said that you should provide 2-color versions without AA.
I consider your black and white versions without phong for 2-color versions.

No.

No, it's just an eye.

Please don't! Besides, it would require a completely changed version, and
that would be a shame after you done so much to make people satisfied with
the current version!

Do you mean the Eye of Hours? (at least I think that's what it was 
called)

Bye for now,

Oops, I meant Eye of Horus...

Damn.  That'll teach me to trust my spellchecker... :P

Although...   Eye of Hours has potential as a title for a scene... :)

Bye for now,

I totally agree. A neutral emotional look would probably be best.

Still getting better.

Two comments:
* I liked the v4 thin tail better
* Yellow is too dark again to my taste (I am being very difficult, I know).
Maybe try something like .5*v4 + .5*v5 or .66*v4+.34*v5

Some suggestions for you to try (without any garantee of any positive
result):
* center the sphere in the inner ellipsoidal shape (lower it slightly);
* try some other position for head/tail of the ellipsoid (and try other
head/tail vacuum intervals);
* try to make the tail go more inside than the head (build using an
elipsoidal spiral?), maybe to make it "point" to the center of the head;
* try adding a slight angle on the sides of the eye, more like a real eye;


I do not know about expression - I do not think it would be easy to get an
unmistakable expression and I am not sure if it would be a good thing for a
logo. IMHO, leave expression for individual logo interpretations/variations.
Unscrutable calm and concentration, zen-like, seem to be very good for the
logo.

One more suggestion for everybody to try : play with color3d128.gif using
the hue/saturation/lightness setting of the image software of your choice -
some nice color shemes to be seen.

I think the real name is "oudjat eye" tough I'm not sure of the spelling
:)) Cause we're not really sure if it's Horus Eye or Re one :) (sorry, I
studied Egypt not long ago)

No problem, I'm more than happy to be corrected by someone who knows what 
they're talking about <grin>
