Maybe a favicon.ico tells you all you need to know about Ibatis vs Jaxor...
 
(see attached PNG or references below.)
 
My preliminary findings:
- the iBATIS icon is larger
- the iBATIS icon is more flexible (it can be used in both large and small contexts)
- the Jaxor icon is leaner (and looks to be more aerodynamic) but I'm not sure if it is also meaner. (I'm not gonna mess with that iBATIS icon!  Ouch!)
- they are both pretty cool looking.
- at that 16 x 16 resolution, Jaxor requires a closer look.  (both of you icons: what the heck are you, anyway?)
 
You may be thinking, "Not very scientific."
