Hum, I was not aware of this...
I just checked and I must say I really like anditosan idea and the one 
4th of Ken, but I'm afraid that it looks too much like a IM logo 
(specially Ken's version). I'm not sure it really fits the breeze theme 
as well (more what I expect for elementary OS)

Out of this, I find very interesting the Gears + '>', specially the 2nd 
of Ken. It's more like the continuity of what was before, and therefore 
makes maybe more sense? or does it? :)

I'm just afraid that a totally new logo in version 5.7 is strange.

But that's very personal I guess.
