I feel the same way - that's why I went with the all round icons at the beginning. I believe I can make the first 3 levels of those work without much trouble, and then maybe add a square version of the biggest icon for the capitals (there's only two). That would give me this:



Not much room for confusion there, is there? Or maybe I should just go for solid circles in several sizes (he said depressedly)
