Really people, you're all dullards. Show a little creativity. It's a VISUAL hobby, so the logo should be more than just text. Something like this (putting aside copyright issues of course):
Mel, when designing logos, it's all about clarity and simplicity. One of the few things I remember from my design student time is a simple method to see if a logo works. If you can clearly read/understand it in very small sizes and in black and white, you are in the right track.
Complex backgrounds, lot of details, textures, pictures, visual effects on tipography, etc are valid resources for other pieces (like ads) but are rarely seen in logos.
