I prefer this one too.  The one change I'd like to see made to it
would be to change the black border to match whatever we change the
default background color to.  19.15-b96 (which will be released in a
few hours) comes with this logo.

I think 75% motif-gray aka #c0c0c0 blends in the best with the other
defaults.

I am no longer arguing against the change.  It will definitely be made
in the (very) near future.

This one is cool, and definitely something we should aspire to in the
future.  I agree with Kyle's comment that this logo is *too good*
(unfortunately).
