Thanks for your efforts!

They are accepted by the extremely picky Preview application under
NextStep 2.0.

However there are two flaws in the figures as figures. First, when
you scale them up to fill a page, it is quite evident that the curves
are not rendered with curve operators, but rather are constructed
from 5 or 6 straight line segments.  They look pretty clunky at the
size you would want for a sign to put on a recycle bin, for example.

More important, the recycle logo is not correct.  All three arrows
start from the back and come to the front, and are essentially
interchangable.  That is not right.  In the real recycle logo, one
arrow (usually the top one?) starts in the front and goes to the
back; no rotation or reflection of that arrow will yield one of
the other arrows (except, of course, a rotation in depth :-) .

This is not a new topic; back in July 90 there was a flurry of
recycle logos posted here.  One by jiang@hbar.rice.edu (Jun Jiang)
was quite nice at large magnifications, but it also had the logical
flaw of three interchangable arrows.

Maybe somebody could get it right yet?
