Thank you.

I intentionally simplified the rendered Å-in-triangle to make it look
more like a logo and less like a 3D-rendering of a metal triangle.
Simplicity is a good thing in a logo. It does looks better with the
shading though (this time from the top-left, it seems more natural then
from the other side):

I thought the stylized Å was rather catchy. :)

I have uploaded the vectors for the designs I tried in one file, anyone
is welcome to modify these, consider these contributed to the Ångström
project:

I can upload these to the bugtracker as well if that's better, that way
the sources won't get lost.
