Make your "we accept Bitcoin" logo

Everyone open your graphics editor and make a "we accept Bitcoin"
logo. A good looking logo (preferably better than mine 
) would be really useful.
My first version attached.

I took a shot. Small, clean "btc accepted" sign. See attached
file.

Is there a high-res bitcoin logo? Or a vector-image?

No, sorry. I've been meaning to redo it. The largest icon that still
looks good is the 20x20 one which is used for the tray icon in GNOME.
Any larger than that looks bad. The 16x16 and 20x20 ones have quite a
bit of hand tweaking to get the pixels to work out right. If you just
scale down a larger image, the pixels end up blurred and awkward in
places where the lines in "BC" don't land square on a pixel.
The best 16x16 with full alpha channel is in src/rc/bitcoin.ico. I
don't like the 32x32 version.
I'm attaching bitcoin20x20.png, the 20x20 version with full
transparency.

This one is inspired on the PayPal, secure payments logo.

Thank you for these sirius-m, giik and all future contributors. I
might have ago at producing a logo myself.
Is this a logo contest ? How many Bitcoins for the Winner ? 
Perhaps anyone who adopts a contributors logo for their website might
consider a Bitcoin donation to it's creator(s) !

A bitcoin image in the shape of a credit card. Inspired by the Me.com
account payment page.

I attempt a contribution:
(image not available)
EDIT) This is old version. Design has been updated.
Image original is saved as proprietary vector format, can be resized
without loss of quality. Bitcoin graphic had to be remade by myself as
vector. I will accept and may implement suggestions.

Quality and fantastic Sabunir ! I really like them.
Suggestions:
The background ‘fade' effect somewhat detracts from the text in
the smaller versions of the logo. Almost making it unreadable (tricky
one as I realize it's taken from the website header)
Maybe a mention of ‘P2P'. Maybe not...
Embossed blue / dark blue outline ?
I'd be happy to pay to use the logo's (I have already sent giik a
token 100BTC donation)

Good ideas. Updated:
(images are not availabe)
These may be used freely by all, but I will graciously accept
donations: 1BHtsCnpmTvpgJEP7eMKEVhpJFunxSM8vq
EDIT) Added smaller versions, inspired by Ensayia's submission.

Took a crack at a very basic low-profile icon.
EDIT
Let me try that again...

Am I to understand that these graphics are public domain?

In what way, madhatter2?
As in you can take them and use them wherever? For mine I don't care,
use it how you like, just try to give credit if possible.

Public domain? No. My images are Copyleft, to myself (satoshi or
any other Bitcoin developers can have the rights to these images, upon
request). In practice, Copyleft works almost the same as public domain.
You are completely free to use, share, or modify my images. If you do,
please consider listing me in your credits or donating an amount of
coins to me, but this isn't required.

As well as GNU GPL why not attach a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/ to them. You can reference
the project address and request a Bitcoin donation for their

I am not that picky. Growth of the Bitcoin network and promoting more
widespread usage is sufficient reward to me.

If you GPL stuff, I have to avoid using it. Nothing against GPL
per-se, but Bitcoin is an MIT license project. Anything GPL please
clearly mark it as such.
