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
You make the editor the program that opens your source files. I keep the interpreter as the main program. I wonder how most people do it.
a-ha! New idea for euWeb: SURVEYS! 
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?
It's not different and I didn't say it was. The problem is, we haven't seen icons for any of those logo ideas. I was just suggesting that some be made.
Also, with just the plain e logos, the first thing I think of is Eiffel, as it has a larger user base.
So? When I see "EU," I think "European Union."
It is probably a rare Euphorian who even knows that Eiffel is a programming language and not a tower in Paris.
It's going to be a rare logo that doesn't confuse somebody. 
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?
It's compact, simple, and eye-catching. Maybe it doesn't match "technical." 3 out of 4 is good.
or the Python logo?
If you don't know the difference between a technical feel and a not-technical feel, I don't think my words are going to help.
My primary concern is this: I don't want to see something flowery or colorful for a Euphoria icon/logo. I know that sentiment is shared by others. But not Critic. He likes the rainbow. 
The { Open... Euphoria } logos are far more technical than the others you used as examples.
Cut down on the flowery coloring and many of them just might work fine!
I'm just trying to portray my thoughts on the subject.
Thanks. Me too.
