The three-finger one does seem more modern and synonymous with mudokons now, but if we were able to go back the four-fingered design (and undo two games worth of severance) then I would.
Whenever they point with a three fingered hand, I can't help but see it like their using their equivalent of their middle finger. I mean, imagine a mudokon giving you the one fingered salute. Does it look like his index or middle finger? I rest my case.
