Slide 1: i like all owls except the ones with [eigen] (for reason
above; but the [11111] is ok), and the very last one without the book
(too plain).

Slide 2: not a fan, don't know why. maybe just colors, as i like slide 3 better

Slide 3: this works much better. Again I don't like the writing, and
the lambda would be confusing by itself, but [11111] is OK. So, OK for
most of them if you remove the 'eigen' on the side and only write
[11111] on the owl.

Slide 4: my favorite is the 1st one (1a) but the hat itself without
the owl may not be easy to recognize. Maybe 1a + hat-less owl on the
side?

Slide 5: I like 4a the best. Combining this with the 1a from page 4,
you could move the had from the owl to the n.

 Not a fan of brackets around 'eigen' (still doesn't make it look like
a matrix). Putting the e inside the owl makes it too far away from the
other letters, so I'd rather have the owl on the side (see Firefox
logos).

Slide 6: again, I prefer 4a.

Cheers,
Benoit
