Logos can be like family crests embued with meaning or abstract. They can be artistic reflections of the letters (e.g. the one on my homepage is my initials), or just abstract.

They don't have to be perfectly unique, just unique in a field, especially true if they always appear with the title. Like what does Google, or Amazon or Ebay's logo. Just the text serves as the logo.

Trying to be globally unique is difficult. e.g. Schematic.com uses a blue square, national geographic a gold rectangle. With enough of a marketing incentive they brand the experience.

The requirements for the logo for me is utmost simple geometry and symmetries. Also the blue radial menu is going to stick around on the home page so there is a visual tie in, and as the site gets developed it will be come more tightly integrated.

Yes that font works well. I do like the more perfect circle O's and the many similar angles and straight lines of th TywK. I'm more partial to Florsn18.ttf, Florsn30.ttf

Are you doing this for fun, or did you want to get paid for this? So far we haven't discussed it.

Neither! :) Just wanting to help, and it can be a little fun.

You're right about the lack of necessity of engineering a truly unique solution to one's identity. It works for lots of people. This company offers a catalog of various categories of logos for either exclusive or non-exclusive rights, here's some of their "internet technology" ones:

Still, I'm happy to put some thought into making something especially thought out for you. If I've got the requirements in my head I can think on it. If you just need a hi-res or rendered variation of your current logo with custom character sizing/placement I can do that too, though I need to know what formats you need.
