Final editing on the BPR3 icon...

Uriel Klieger has begun work revising the BPR3 icon. He's got a couple different versions up at BPR3.org:

This is the large version of the icon that will replace our icon for posts in the Research category -- those that discuss peer-reviewed research. But now all bloggers will be able to use the icon whenever they are blogging about peer-reviewed research rather than just linking to a press release or media commentary.

The icon on the top left is how he submitted it to win the contest; the two on the top center and top right are proposed revisions.

Please feel free to make your own comments (remember, there will be two other sizes); you may want to check out the announcement thread first for the list of suggested revisions.

Update: More revisions here.

Can you lose "bpr3.org" in favor of something that matches the logo?

You'll be using a red X instead of a green check mark to indicate research that isn't openly accessible (and hence, cannot be verified without paying silly amounts of money), right?

How about keep it really simple...

Blogging on Peer Reviewed Research.

Means you have change the R^3 to R^2 but that's all Good.
