design a logo :)

Contest Brief

Welcome
I am in need for a fresh logo for my data compression benchmark hosted at
http://www.squeezechart.com/index.html
The new logo should show the key media types mankind has developed over time.
There are 7 stages that should be represented by 7 persons from left to right as evolutionary steps:
Stone age, Bronze age, ancient Greek, ancient Rome, the Dark Ages, Industrial age, Digital Age.

The 1st person should be a neanderthal in the cave doing cave paintings. Background: a woman cooking on a small camp fire inside the cave and another person doing pottery next to her.
The 2nd person should be the egyptian Nofretete writing hieroglyphs inside a pyramid. Background: Hammurabi with his law codes and a man designing bronze disk (Nebra sky disk).
The 3rd person should be the greek Homer writing on Papyrus in front of Parthenon temple. Background: a chinese writing bambus book, Sokrates thinking and Archimedes doing math.
The 4th person should be the roman Tacitus writing in front of Colosseum. Background: ancient world map.
The 5th person should be italian DaVinci doing his famous sketch. Background: Mozart composing and some merchants of the Hanseatic League trading.
The 6th person should be Charlie Chaplin in front of gramophone and vintage camera with celluloid scrolls.
Background: Conrad Roentgen making the first x-ray, Nikola Tesla with his Tesla coil and Alexander Graham Bell behind his first telephone.
Finally, the 7th person could be a person behind a laptop, with earphones in ear and smartphone in the hand.
Background: A medical hologram of human body, a surveillance camera or drone in the air and ISS space station in the far distance.


The new logo should be colorful and rich in detail; the optimal resolution is 1545 x 580 pixels.

Here is an example that shows evolution from ape to computer:

    Should the people look more modern and simplistic or have a lot of detail?

      entry #12 contains only 5 from 7 stages; it lacks detail and color. Also, please don't use the word 'SqueezeChart'.

      Do not "seal" the contest ... as there will be a very high

      probability that you'll just end up with a generic logo that

      no one can report against. Appealing for 'sealing' is a common

      tactic that they know works to hide behind. If they have

      serious design skills, it costs them only 50 cents to seal

      their own entry .. problem is that they might end up

      submitting so many generic entries per person, that that

      amount tends to rack up. So they burden the CH with the

      sealing cost.
      It's neither fair to you nor to designers who actually put in

      effort in their designs. I've seen it happen many times over,

      where a generic entry ends up winning. You can always avoid

      rating or reject or even report generic entries, but how would

      you know know what is generic & what is not unless it is

      pointed out by others or unless you research it yourself?

      Sealing eliminates all chances of reporting defrauding

      entries.
