maybe this is too late to ask, but better late than never....
in logo design, its the same with EE design, we need to have some spec:
1) whats the theme and motive for the logo?
2) what to put inside if its not just textual (or only textual that is required)
3) how many colors needed (multicolor, grayscale, mono B&W)
Theme I don't know.
The motive is to have something that people can instantly recognise the blog from, just like the currently do with my photo on the front page. It's essentially a replacement for that logo.
All companies have a (usually quite simple) logo, and I wan the EEVblog to have the same thing.
I'm after something clean and simple that's easy to read.
I think Jan's effort is the closest to the idea so far.
But your latest "50's style" effort is probably the best "stylised" one so far.
Ideally I guess it should have my my head in it, because the blog is essentially me and my personality. But if the head doesn't work, then it doesn't work.
