The water droplet reminds me too much of one of the user login icons 
that comes with Windows XP, although it does have a nice understated 
colour scheme. The constellation has a some very cool connotations, as 
others have noted, but the current version makes me think of a child 
drawing of a horse. (Bigger stars would help. Maybe a different 
constellation too.)

I'd vote for the spiral, but: in a different colour scheme (not a 
green-orange combination), and slightly rotated (maybe 30-45 degrees 
clockwise) to make it more obvious what it is. (The underside shade is 
also too dark, it might be more obvious if it were closer to the colour 
of the "skin" on the top. I attached a quick colour replacement of green 
with shades of gray, just for illustration, not because I think it's the 
right colour combination.)
