Sorry if this is the wrong place firstly, I'm in the process of making a new website and having trouble thinking of a logo. The subject is about SEO and overall website assistance so needs to be geared towards online activity or helping etc. Any ideas welcome and I will update this thread with my own thoughts if I come up with anything.

Make it a web 2.0 logo. It will really suit the purpose. Try googling up web 2.0 graphics to get ideas. =)
Second. It will probably look really cool, especially if you give it a special touch that is unique to your site (like a small graphic next to the text?).
Well, a good place to start would be with the name of the company. Rather than just saying 'make it web 2.0', you should focus on creating something meaningful that works for you. Once you have a name build off of that. A great way to do that is to make a list of words associated with the name. As an example, lets say your name is 'SEO Falcon'. Grab a piece of paper and make two columns. One for SEO and one for Falcon. Then just write down anything that comes to mind below each word. Try and just write without thinking and add as many as you can. 25-50 would be great. So for SEO you might have things like: internet, web, search, better, fast, optimized, clear, clean, engine, power, magnifying glass, lens, microscope, science, smart, math, etc... For Falcon you might have: bird, talons, hunter, dark, mysterious, swift, egg, nest, tree, soar, mountain, rodent, grass, hooded, glove, etc... There are no wrong answers, see what random associations you can think of. Now, just start paring words from both columns together and start sketching. I use this all the time when coming up with logos. You might not get something directly from your combined words but that combination might inspire something else until you find exactly what you were looking for.
Here's my suggestion: 1) Go with the web 2.0 as someone already said. 2) Idk what colors your site will be, but in terms of something looking nice Id suggest combining Blue+Orange and use effects such as glow effects, shadows. 3) As someone already suggested u might wanna add a little character to make it unique to your site. 4) make a couple of different formats and sizes and make sure you add the logo to all ur advertising and marketing materials, so it can be projected to a wider audience. If you need help designing it or any more advise Id be glad to help. Cheers.
