I like the one with "svc". The > corresponding xpm icons (48x48) are attached. To tell the truth, I like the svc better, but for other reasons, I don't want to use it. Dave and Jim have heard my rant on this subject too many times, so I'll keep it short. svc is nice as a command name, because of the way that it puns on cvs. But it gives the wrong impression. In the software engineering research community, version control implies old fashioned single-file based versioning systems like RCS. Software configuration management (SCM) or versioning and configuration management (VCM) are generally used for advanced systems that provide things like project versioning, changesets, etc. I don't want svc, which expands out to "stellation version control" to become the dominant way of referring to the system. So, if we want to go with your icons, the S is preferable. But something about the S icon seems out of balance. I can't put my finger on why, but the svc icon has a nice balance to it; the S icon looks lopsided. On the other hand... I think the starburst logo in blue looks very good if you just pull out the S.
