RSS Bandit new logo design contest

As my various mails to some web designers does not had any real effect to get a new set of icons for the Next Generation User Interface of my favorite feed reader, I hope I will get more responses and comments by starting a design contest for a new logo of RSS Bandit now. Currently we use this one:
spacer   spacer

The application icon is just the smiley face simulating the point of the character "i". Some professional users complains about the "unprofessional" look of our logo (they associate a game or an app to play with) while there are also users that really like it.
So I just started with some new that get rid of the smiley face, as you can see some variants here:

Variant 1

Variant 3a

Variant 2b

Smiley Variant 1 (Thanks to Mark Allanson)

Variant Ash (Thanks to Ash)

So please vote in comments to this post, what you like or not. Send your own designs to my contact address or that at www.rssbandit.org, please. I will add them here for all to preview and vote.

Use the App Icon png found in post enclosure to create your own with the awsome smiley...

Update: as suggested I added variants; 2a with smiley and made the "RSS" a little bit more different in color than the background.

Update 2: 2b with smiley in foreground and removed "hands", and a new variant 3a for the one who liked that.

Update 3: variant 4 (Eric Winchester by mail) and Smiley variant 1 (Mark Allanson by mail to Dare Obasanjo aaaages ago spacer

Update 4: more variants (Aaron by comment, Ash by mail)

Update 5: more variants  from Eric Winchester with the bandito-mask (by mail). Jake, I got your images but they are not much different than our own or that of Mark Allanson. I only post variants here that are interesting AND different in variations. But go on with other/more samples, please!

Voting results as of Oct 11th, 2005 (53 comments, final result):
