it has to be cuz think about it, the simpliest would best suite to make users know where they are visiting, pictures wouldn't look good in that tiny box; i am looking at the images via firefox icons on teach tap, the more complex it gets, it feels like everything is packed together it would best show if you check via IE/Firefox page icon, is hard to tell from just looking at it =)
best to have it display for a few days, and then let me do the screen captures and then we vote =) is easier to vote when everyone can see how it looks like in general instead of just looking at the icon because the surroundings will affect how the icon itself to "fit" in
^i think either one of the first two or the last one will be nice maybe the orange and blue version provides a better distinction plus they are transparent and stand out better than mines you got my vote man.
