The icon will be displayed whenever you see Euphoria source, or maybe an executable for which you don't use a custom icon. I don't know about you, but I see the current Euphoria icon everywhere!
Really!? I see whatever editor the file is associated with. The only time I see the Icon is when I run a program via euiw.exe
And a logo that can function as an icon is far more versatile. It goes on hats, pens, golf balls, stationary, shirts, avatars, desktops. 
And the ones presented cannot go on any of those item? Of course they can. Well, maybe not pens or golf balls.
So, yes... we should shoot for a logo that can also serve as an icon.
You have not convinced me.
You can always expand on the idea. For example, say we choose the {e} icon. Then, for the web site, you can "expand" it into a web logo and make it {euphoria}. That's somewhat adhering to what I mean where the logo and icon should be stylized the same.
How is that any different than using some of the ones that many of the others like that use { } and OpenEuphoria? Also, with just the plain e logos, the first thing I think of is Eiffel, as it has a larger user base.
Anyway, look again at the examples I provided of other logos/icons. They are simple, eye-catching, and have a "tech" feel. I don't want to see something flowery or colorful for a Euphoria icon/logo. The perception should be one of technology/programming/science.
How is a ruby technical? or the Python logo? None of them are technical. The { Open... Euphoria } logos are far more technical than the others you used as examples. About eye-catching, I don't want to make anyone feel bad but they look like they were done by an amateur, they just have that feel to them. Now, please don't take that the wrong way! I'm just trying to portray my thoughts on the subject. You don't see any logos submitted by me because I know I couldn't come close to doing something like any of the submitted logos.
