Congratulations ClassicBri, that really was a nice job. It's hard to believe that's really a 5-minute mockup, it'd take me forever to make that even if I had the idea.
EDIT: ClassicBri, what font is the GeekNights part anyway?
Since that is going to be the banner and not the logo... do you object if I make a logo to go with that theme? Using the same logos (the face, controller, lightning bolt and moon)? Purely because they would become part of the site...
I'm not exactly sure why people don't think that's a logo. I understand now that Rym and Scott were looking for a more "iconic" logo, but surely a text logo is still a logo. The most recognize trademark in the world (Coca-Cola) as well as the internet's most recognizeable trademark (Amazon.com) are both text logos.
I'm currently designing a more iconic logo and it should be up by tonight. I've already done sketches for it.
trogdor: It isn't a font - I made it from scratch.
The reason we need a "logo" is for the album art in iTunes, on iPods and in all the podcast directories. That's why I was talking about a square and all that.
I think that is a very well done Icon, I approve of the use of my pictures ^_^. (Technically they were under the CC no derivitave work license, but I just fixed that).

I like it, rampant glee. It's got a real jazz feel about it. Although it does look like Scott's hand is about to break off at the wrist, Buster Bluth-style.
Oops... didn't quite catch that one. Well, it's easy enough to fix that if this logo were to be used. I'm sure it would require other tweaking as well.

FINISH EEET
The text can be somewheres in there, it doesn't really matter.

Here's another idea for good measure.
EDIT: picture now with text at the top.
What's the provenance of these? Are there larger versions? Are they CC-BY like everything else?
I wonder if it would be weird if everyone just spammed Brando K with thanks for the logos. Twitter handle anyone?
Anyway, bumping for my original question now that Rym&Scott may or may not be back:
