#3 My first impression: the kitchen tiles of Mum's kitchen. ;-)
Oops, now you remind me, though I didn't create this with that in mind :D
But I think it looks simple but unique at the same time.

#4 Although I like the lightness and the colors, I immediately got an association with Windows XP's default theme, also dubbed here "TeleTubby theme". If you could change the link to "nature" (after all a 'cocoon' is a natural thing) to something different this one would really stand out.
+1. There probably isn't enough details going into the drawing.
I've been critiquing this kind of stuff for too many years, so don't
take me too seriously, it seems to be a habit to nit pick this kinds
of stuff to death...
No worries, it actually helps a lot :D I will improve the design further once a final one has been picked. (#2 or #3 so far.)
The #2 design incorporating that text sort of elevates this phrase to the level of a slogan, which I don't like. OTOH, I think something needs to go there :-).. the design now would, to my eye, look incomplete without it! Some kind of text, but what?
Yeah, I can change it.

Cheers,
Thien
