I will work with that. Here is a pretty much complete set of logos for the Spartan.pcx file. Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions for improvement?

I've never understood how the enclosed arrow symbolized Spartan ideas or whatever...

It is very close to the symbol of Ares (Mars), god of war. The difference is that the arrow in Ares' symbol is external and points off to the upper right. The Spartans symbol has the arrow inside pointing down. It could mean the warrior culture being internalized in the self.

Hmm.  Female orientation for a war symbol.  That's Santi, all right.

I have decided to make the "mouse over" version of the 39 by 27 pixel logo darker than the "on" version. I noticed that the "mouse over" version is identical to the "on" version in the original set.

Yep, and I think they really missed a trick, there.  Do that for the whole set and make them consistent.

I created multiple versions of the Labyrinth Logo because I wanted to make sure that other people realized the two objects on each side of the eye are supposed to be walls...

I personally like this version better because it gives the three objects around the tower a more defined shape. Why do you like a earlier attempt better?

...I think because the latest tries look even more like crescent moons and even less like broadcast dishes...

Which type of object do you think is most appropriate for Morgan, the crescent moons or the dishes? The image below shows the crescent moons.

I see a statue of a horned bull facing away and a dragon with a curved neck, both cresent moon-shaped.  Also two globes, I think, in cradle frames, providing two more, of sorts.  So justification, yes, but I thought I was looking at a broadcasting tower in the logo, therefore dishes, which are at least also half-moon shapes...
