This may sound bitchy, but only because I'm slipping into pretentious art-crit mode 
Take it with a grain of salt...
I'm confused by the choice to use so many different fonts... the O's scale just seems odd, especially when it's the 'exception' to the rest of the letters... I would pick one typeface and stick with it, then make the O nice and large so that swirl seem more graceful and imortant. If you make the other letters smaller and then drop the O down a little bit, so it rests lower, I think things will flow much better. I'd use a sans-serif typeface just so your O can be a perfect circle (or at least much closer to that shape) or maybe even a little wider than it is taller, so the horizontal swirl seems less extreme.
I don't know if you meant to have the gaps between the lighter and the darker color fields (the darker ones seem inset so they don't meet corner to corner with the lighter fields...) but if you did I think it's unnecessary, since this is an icon those gaps will only really be seen when you look closely and will likely bother a lot of people until they realize them (gaps that small at corners tend to look like aliasing when it's scaled down... you don't want your logo to look aliased...)
Aside from all my bitching, I like the overall concept. Great work

I've been working with different colors as well. It was originally black and yeallow, but I found a photoshop effect that changed it to the product I posted.
I turned it to black and white and made it really small and it didn't look that bad.
The logo I made is just something I came up with in the middle of the night. Odds are, this won't end up being our logo.

I let my good friend (Spencer Hales) take a look at the logo, he made his own little version...as well as a second re-vamped version. I'll upload both just for fun!
