I like them a lot. I think I prefer the designs with a penguin on the 
black stone, even if that makes less sense as Dan pointed out (or can 
we say that penguins live in semi-darkness half the time?).

The Go theme is more obvious on the grids (on the right) than the 
diagonal squares, but maybe not as elegant. On the straight grid, the 
proportions do not seem right: the stones should be larger. The 
opposite is true on the larger design which is quite nice nevertheless.

In the end my choice would be between the large design and the penguin 
on white.
