There's some nice graphics among those, however I'd like to stress again that the the name and the typeface used to expess it are of crucial importance to the marketability of the logo. As a relatively unknown brand you can't afford to go with a graphic alone and expect people to recognize what it's about. You have to put emphasis on the name, because that's how people are going to identify, remember and communicate your product.
The importance of typeface should not be underestimated here, as it gives 'personality' and context to the words. It's the primary emotion that you associate your name with and needless to say, it should be chosen carefully. The icon really is of secondary importance.
You have a good point.
Obviously I won't present just the logotype, the name must be there too. Though I'm asking for ideas on the logotype because that's the most difficult part to come up with. Once I've decided upon a logotype I'll put up a few different alternatives for the whole deal so that people can vote on the best one.
