Sorry about the time bomb! I was thinking something similar to what Joanie ultimately suggests - that it might be better to have different "types" of clocks. This type of solution is used in Gnome Icon Themes for security states (low security is a wooden shield, medium a plain metal shield, etc.) H

Hi Meg, It would be helpful to have the full context of use of these icons.  Completely different icons (e.g. Fig. 1-3) may be more distinguishable.  BUT... then you loose the notion that this thing is the same thing but in different states (e.g. Fig. 4-7).
