Ok, so I took medyman's advice and decided to try something more "playful" and creative. I've got a little "iconic head" image that really suits ME personally, and would like to somehow incorporate it into the overall logo design, as it will be like the "mascot" of the site and me personally.
(I'm using it as my avatar right now)
I have the psd of the head thingy which is MUCH MUCH larger and higher detail.

So, if by chance anyone is still interested in what was mentioned in this post, whenever you want to start working on it just let me know and I'll send the PSD so you can incorporate it into the design.
