Again, if this has been done by someone else, I did not intend to 
duplicate it. I think POV-Ray Mac used to have an icon like this, I 
could be mistaken.
This one is extremely simple(3 spheres, the text is optional), easy to 
recognize, and fairly recognizable in monochrome. Just don't put it 
upside down, or Disney will come after you. :-)

Nice and simple.

I would try another font for the letters, and make them bigger.

I would also find another way of coloring them. While the cyan, magenta, and
yellow are symbolic (or whatever), it doesn't look very nice. Try all black
or all white.

But most important, I think you should do something (I don't know what) to
the logo so that it is somewhat interesting even when viewed in just black
and white.

Greetings,

Rune

I know, I am not satisfied with the way they turned out.

Again, I am not satisfied with the color either. All black or all white 
would be fine, or maybe other colors...maybe give the text an ambient 1 
finish, so it isn't shaded...

The spheres could be represented as 3 circles, the green one filled with 
white, the red one with 50% gray, and the blue with black, but that 
requires at least one gray color. Maybe make all of them white and put a 
highlight on each of them.

It's mainly the letter size and brightness that's the problem with this though.
And even then I can't see it as being POVy enough (povy?).  Sorry...   8o)
