I changed the color a bit on the Ruby logo, and I think it looks better
(and if I may say so, fits with Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby better as
well).

The trick is to stay the same.

True.  It should be a ruby coloring.  On the other hand, though the GEM 
should be colored as a ruby, perhaps a tweak of the [b]background[/b] 
might help a bit.

I prefer the original color for the gem, but maybe the background color
should be changed.
This pink is flashing to much in my eyes I think ;)

I just like the original :)

I think the "Atractive Version" lacks some of the elegance of the
original. It is nice, but I think elegance is a important factor for
the Ruby logo, since elegance is important for Ruby itself. :)

However, a change in the background only could be nice, although it's
hard to say without actually seeing one.

Yes, but rubies aren't only red. They vary in color 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby).

From Wikipedia: "The finest ruby is best described as being a vivid 
medium-dark toned red. Secondary hues add an additional complication. 
Pink, orange, and purple are the normal secondary hues in ruby. Of the 
three, purple is preferred because, firstly, the purple reinforces the 
red making it appear richer[3]. Secondly, purple occupies a position on 
the color wheel halfway between red and blue."

The color of the ruby in the logo doesn't look very "vivid". 
attractive_version.png was just a mockup. But I still think it could use 
an edge. So I think some purple/pink to spice it up would look very good 
if not overused (like it was in attractive_version.png, I just changed 
the hue of the whole image). Would be interesting to see some attempts 
at this.
