Here is another proposal:

The files are attached.  They are CC licensed (I'm still checking which
CC license exactly).

Again, I won't express an opinion on any of the proposed designs.  I'm
only trying to ensure that we not choose a logo by Hobson's choice.
We have four different options to choose from:

0. workers/44512: Stylized "Z"
1. workers/49679: Shell prompt in a window
2. workers/49725: Wizard's wand
3. None of the above

That's still the case.
