Hi everyone, and congratulations to those mentioned in keccak512's post
The offer always stands, contact me if you want someone to bounce around ideas with when thinking about your next iteration.
For the new submissions:
@CoinExchange - good shape man, with the Latin you used it looks like there might be an imbalance in the left vs. the right side (one long word opposite a short one), Have you thought about evening these words out? If you want to play with this I found a couple of samples you might find interesting:

@tighe - you already know that I like this logo, not much to add here
@crazy58 - This is your best work man - congratulations. Keep in mind that we ask you to only post a logo once (I can see this was posted on the last page also)
In any case, you are making great progress with your composition.
@Trivelius - there's a really nice shape to this mate - I'd suggest you play with the absolute white colour in the background - maybe a subtle grey colour would keep the contrast but give the whole design "body"?
@JamesR1 -

I've probably spent most of my time trying to find a flaw in your submission, but from a technical point of view, there simply isn't one. Even the shadow on the "H" character is raised to make sure the dimension of the H shape above the coin is maintained.
I don't even need to congratulate you. This is simply perfect execution. To make something like this you know that already.
To top it all off, the "capitol H with a line at the top" character even maps to an existing unicode one:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C4%A6I mentioned the idea of using a unicode character a few pages back, a very minor concern but if we are successful, could become a consideration in the future.
I found these links that talk about how Bitcoin is trying to solve this problem now:
A site explaining the problem and their idea to change the Bitcoin logo:

Have a great day guys,
Cheers,
