I really like them.  They seem a little more distinct from each other
than the old ones did, which will make it faster to recognize them.
The new eek icon is fantastic.

The only concern I have is the small Wilbers.  They seem very square.
While it's true that Wilber is somewhat more linear than a true
organic shape would be, he still is much more more rounded than the
small icons appear.

Will you be planning to create a grayscale version as well, or would
it be better to stay with the existing grayscale version for our users
that prefer desaturated icons?
