@OP: That motion is a definite no-go; chalk it up to some dicks ruining it for the rest of us.

Go with this.

The current Tower and Lion is a good symbol, they should stick with a variant of that.

A simpler variant, yes.

Personally I prefer the blue and white roundel (and not just because it's got one of my favourite colours in it). For one, the roundels on modern fighter aircraft are nowhere near as prominent as some people make it out to be (certainly not large or colourful enough to legitimise claims that it resembles a target), and secondly the older symbol unfortunately carries undesirable implications while the other insignia would look too busy and cluttered (even if it was simplified) except as art just below the canopy or some other discreet place.

When you put something on an aircraft, I believe that keeping it simple and being economical with the design tends to look far superior to using a more intricate one. Also, there's just something curiously charming about the roundel's simplicity.

I vote for a grinning Simo Hayha standing over a stack of bears wearing Russian army hats.

Point that somewhere else, or I'll reengage the harmonic tachyon modulator.

Decorations that make it look like smoke is rising from the tail of your engine.

You can pretend to be shot down and then come back up and frag the fucker.

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.
