Forked from Re: Euphoria Logo Contest, will you participate?
I really liked the professional appearance of the others and the use of { } in the logo, as it shows some Euphoria code.
How is this?

As an icon:
can you convert to ico and try it out?
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
I think that gets added to the main page, but it may not be required, most browsers probably look for one by default.

forgot to mention before any choice is made, eu being generally accepted abreiv. for European Union, are there any implications down the road preventing eu as a trademark or even casual usage in an icon? not the easiest thing to search for. they have plenty of lawyers and tend to win. the publicity couldn't hurt but a fine would.

I think the shadow effect needs to be removed from this icon image as it just looks blurry otherwise.

I'm pretty sure that the European Union abbreviation is EU - all caps, the its Internet TLD is "eu", but that is not a trademark.

I don't understand what you're getting at. Should I keep or remove the drop shadow? Should I add a black border to the icon?

Not to keep picking, but your icon on the desktop even looks like a fancy @ symbol.

See please the zoommed fragment:
I do not have an idea about what do you do at all and why it is so blurred.

I see now. That's because it's only a 16x16 icon. There is no larger 32x32 counterpart, so the 16x16 icon is getting "blown up" by Windows to fill a 32x32 area. I can add a clearer 32x32 image to the icon. I was only using a 16x16 image for testing, as that's all that is required for a favicon.

Additionally, make sure small images like icons don't use anti-aliasing as this can (but not always) increase the blurred effect.

See please our icons in pure 16x16 format on Windows:
Do you see favicon.ico is very strange anyway?
