I think not changing the AEON logo/branding is a mistake and a waste of an opportunity, but it looks like I'm outvoted, so ce la vie.

im not crazy about the blue square because at smaller sizes, im sorry, but its just unreadable.
No one has explained to me why smaller sizes like 16x16 are even needed at all. I'm not sure any of the proposed replacements would be legible at those tiny sizes either.
favicon comes to mind.
edit:
I changed the color to the bright blue which will help with recognition at small sizes and because we love the bright aeon blue.
