I would assume the Q and the arrow represents a compass. The Q is the
compass rose and the arrow is the needle.
Personally, I don't think that the current logo/icon is that bad, but I
am open to other proposals. I also don't think that the current logo is
too complex. Look at Apples logo (i.e. of Safari) - this is pretty
complex logo as well (I would say it is more complex than the QGIS logo)
and people seem to like it.
I also think that there could be different versions (e.g. with or
without shadow or even with a different color). One could distinquish
certain sub-projects (such as QGIS Server, QGIS Android, QGIS webclient)
with a slightly modified QGIS logo.

I never understood what is the point of arrow in QGIS logo? Can it be
just stylized
Q?
