I still like Thomas Bieg's logo a lot.  The complexity problem could be
solved by providing a "simplified" version without the folding edges (I
don't know what they're called in English) for use in smaller sizes,
keeping the original one for use on websites etc.

I don't want to block the proposal though, I'm glad we're finally getting
at a decision point.
