Hi Doug,

many thank for you words and for take the time to consult others about the
design. :)

If I can express my opinion about the broken/unbroken arc issue. I'm with
you and think I end preferring the unbroken (first version). This is after
some hours of sleep and seeing the two in comparision.

But for not going to much far, I think we get the contest and not invest
more time until we know clearly if this way would the one to continue
evolving. I only will think in a square icon and report here if get
something interesting.
