Thanks for your input on the logo, Karen. A new logo is under construction as we speak. I passed the baton to my tech wiz sister, who is a professional graphic artist.

I agree with Beth about moving the words under the globe. It is top-heavy right now. Could you try a better contrast than blue and black? Perhaps you can try viewing it in black-and-white just to see what the two colors look like there. Otherwise, your words can “disappear” into the black. I just think the color scheme needs to be lightened a bit. Aaron has useful suggestions in that direction, too. The concept of globe and earphones is just fine.

Thanks for the comments on the logo! I agree with both of your suggestions and will try to implement them to see how it looks.

I like your idea as well. You might want to think about simplifying the color scheme a bit and just do a translucent globe with headphones, just an idea. The idea is a very elegant visual metaphor for your global user base. Well done.w

I like your logo a lot, actually. I don’t think you need to add a visual element for “tech writer” — it’s already communicated by the words themselves, and if you load up the logo with too many images it’s just going to get confusing. Try finding a strong font for the text, maybe place the words under the globe (Tech Writer / Voices, with “Voices” wider so it aligns with “Tech Writer”), and I think you’ll have a fabulous little logo.
