I think they look great. :)

But something has always bothered me with these diagrams: they make it
look like Tor relays are run on everyone's computer. With Justin's
revision, it looks like they are run on laptops. The vast majority of
Tor relays are run on stable servers and most of the traffic flows
through high capacity servers, hosted in datacenters behind high
capacity links. So I think picturing a laptop might be misleading…
