[Foundation] logo politicking

Here are my personal thoughts on these logotypes:
#1: It's 3d if you look at it close up. I'm sure that can be changed,
but it really makes me dislike this one.
#2: My fave, but it's also my brothers. As to the remark that the bulb
part is big, I actually like that. It means we can have a logo, rather
than a logo with text that is still identifiable.
#3: I could have sworn I've seen another company that incorporates a
smiley, but I can't remember where, or find it quickly. A smiley as a
logo still seems a little silly to me as well. Emoticons are just too
disrespected by much of the world.
#4: Reminds me of an audio company logo that I again can't find the
name of. Seems overly hip, and if you took off the word "jabber" I'm
not sure it would serve as a memorable logo.
#5: This is my second favorite, but feels odd with the type. I think
it's the double J thing for me. I didn't feel it captured anyting that
the JSF or Jabber is about either.
#6: While clean, I think it is overly simple and potentially hard to
trademark.
