This is just my opinion and observation.
It looks to me as if the gear is tilted to the rear while the eye is tilted to the front, giving the whole picture an offbalance look. If you can find a gear that is more vertical I think that would help a lot. However this is a great job. I like it.
The problem seems to be that the gears shadow on the eye indicates a frontlight while the spot(s) on the eye indicates a light source from the upper right.
As a result the eye seems to squint.
(just my 2¢)
so your the first for the contest ;)
the eye is cool, but somehow the gear does not fit :? don't know why or what you can do against it at the moment, maybe just try and test... ;) and i think it will not be the last version and so:
work on, it'll be a cool design ;)

well, is there a gear somewhere that I can use for free? I've sort of put it together from the KDE logo. (looks ugly to me too)
rip one off of the kde SVG submissions. they are all gpl, and im sure the authors would let you use it even if they werent.
First contest sumbission for the tshirt contest. I am prepared for my world to get rocked by better artists though. =)
