I have sent Ryno a message to back off of the logo court disputes. If he pushes back on another one within my contest I will remove him from my contest altogether.
I really liked your designs and the fact that he is trying to lay claim to the solar cell trace pattern is absurd.
As for your current designs - I was curious these look to me like diffraction or interference patterns in light... was that what you were getting at?
To an extent, yes, it was what I was aiming for; something subtle that would imply a grid or solar cell pattern without being too obvious about it, but also dealt with the nature of light. I also was trying to re-capture the same 'color-crossed 3D sun' feel, as you'd mentioned earlier.
