Thanks a lot for your work, it's really getting there ;-)

I'm really torn between the two versions, I like them both:
- the illustration one: I like the shape of the arrow heads, and the  
color. Suggestions for improvement: could you get rid of the dark  
stripes at the bottom?
- 3d: I like the 3d aspect (which is something that bothers me a  
little in the illustration version). Suggestions for improvement:  
could you lower a bit the tip of the arrows (they seem to go a little  
high which make for maybe too slender arrow heads)? Could you make  
the front arrow more orange (it seems yellower than the illustration  
version, whose color I find more pleasing)? And there is one thing  
that looks great in the illustration version: the  yellow edge on the  
dark branch of the U. Could it be doable in this version?

As for voting, I don't know what we should do. We could let Benjamin  
decide ;-)

Thanks again,

Alan
