Here's the latest update. I changed the pupil to what Chris Huff suggested.
Do the rest of you like it? Forgive me for not typing more or specifying the
file sizes but my chihuahua is asleep on my lap and it would wake her up if
I got the calculator to figure that out. Thanks for understanding. Enjoy.

Lookin' good, Tony!  It's starting to look nice, clean, and professional
(seriously).  Personally, to keep the clean and simple look, keep it
something like this.

I just got how the eye relates to POV.  Persistance of VISION.  Duh :)

I personally liked the previous post better...
It looked more like an official business logo...

I liked the old one better.

Hm. It kinda got out of hand. As I've said, I believe it gets too
complicated with a torus _and_ a sphere in the middle.

I got an idea:
What about pigmenting the "eye ball" with a radial with a small color band
from -0.1 to 0.1, for example, and rotating it to align it horizontally? It
would mimic some kind of "cats" pupil, if you see what I mean... Sounds
silly? Don't bother. It might look okay, but wouldn't actually look like an
eye, anyway, thinking about it.

I might be picky, but it seems that you've swept an ellipsoid, and that on
the thick end of the sweep,  the ellipsoid is somewhat "skewed". Maybe it's
okay, but was it supposed to be this way? (I'm not saying anything else
looks better!)

I like it but it does not say 'POV-RAY' to me.  The plain cheacker icon
that currently comes with it does.

I does to me too, but the checkered plain represents *any* raytracer, and is
not POV-specific.

As per someone's suggestion, I'll answer everyone in one message.

I can see that most of you aren't happy with the change. No problem, I was
just testing another angle, we can always go back and take another
direction. But which?

You know what? I already tried using radial. Too complex, not particularily
nice.

Yes, well, I rotated in z by 35 degrees, then scaled it, so it should skew.

Yes. :)  Best dog I've ever had.

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.

Somehow I don't like the shape of it. What bothers me is the contour
of the eye. To me, it seems too thick and the thickness itself could
decrease in a more visually appealing way. Sorry for being picky.
