Thanks for doing this Nacho! As a bit of an outsider I have to say that I have to agree with Jake. I really couldn't make the connection with the butterfly until I read it on the list. I also didn't get the one with only dots, I agree with Navina, it seemed like a color blind test ;) So for me the winner is the orbital loops one, I think conveys many of the points that Samza wants to do. Just my 2cents.
