i like the icon but not the fonts. Dont forget my size guidelines. Speno, its too dark orange. As a general guide, i need the icon used in the logo to be useful. The icon is also a brand image in effect. Like the Y in yahoo! - its easy to remember when seen without the text. I got a PM with an extrant to the contest, he used ZD as the icon. Its better that way than just using an arrow or another autoshape found in photoshop...
Much better speno, but im not that happy with the font. Perhaps something more like what xxx used in #23
