up to 3cents now....
I've placed finalists onto Powerpoint slideshows and onto static Web 
pages to see how they looked being reduced in size.  Still not happy, I 
went back to the early icons to see how they handle this.  esp3 blends 
in well with various backgrounds, and still has detail even when reduced 
significantly.  It also places the globe in the PC as in individual 
entity and looks like something is going on with computers and the earth 
(even when reduced).  The new ones have a partial globe and when 
reduced, it's not apparent what the heck it is....

I also like the participant aspect- and that all members should be 
participants.....

..guess I'll get back to work now....
