company logo opinions?

I'd like some opinions on my company logo. I just started working on it a few minutes ago and I'm trying to think of things that can improve it. I'm really bad visually, but I've seen some of the stuff you guys have created before that looked really nice, so I'm looking for suggestions.

See it at http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7890/logo2sya.jpg

Is the all capitalized text nice? How about the black color? Too plain or ok? The font? What about using the big B for both words?

I would appreciate any suggestions you guys can give.
 
totally lame, looks like it was made by a knob at a renaissance fair

that logo wouldnt get you a hand-job at a slutt-convention

all joking aside, the font is pretty bad. it also appears kinda jumbled when you first look at it.
 
Yeah, it's for a tech company. I appreciate the constructive criticism guys. What can I do to improve it though?

ditch the whole "two words working off one letter" thing. also "BeyondBytes" seems more current name wise. maybe some kind of meaningless symbol or watermark like big companies have in their logos.
 
It does seem to be quite plain. Try adding something besides text like an image or something tech related?

Or it would be neat if you could create your own font out of 1's and 0's. Like the letter N could be 1\1, only done really nice with Photoshop. The letter O could be a zero of course, The letter Y could be a 1 with a little slash, the letter B could be a 1 and two 0's for the loops. If done right, I think that could look pretty neat and be very relavent to your business.

You'd be surprised. Registered business name. Registered tax number. Registered bank accounts. Registered domain name, etc...
 
I'm not sure; maybe you could incorporate the lower portion of the B to Bytes with the & symbol (or + sign) and the upper portion of the B to Beyond. So you end up with a diagonally arranged B & B (or B + B). You would have to choose the font carefully, so that the overall design looked ok.

I'm just throwing some ideas out there.
 
Let me be the tenth to mention that this logo is only fitting if you deal in steampunk hardware from the nineteenth century. It is a perfect logo for a difference engine repair shop.

Wow some of the designs there are amazing. I really don't want to rip off another design, but I can't afford what they're offering either. $500!? 🙁

Do I what I suggested above. Move it to $10 and you will be very surprised how nice they can be.

Any chance somebody here is already a member there and could post it for me?

I tried registering myself, but it says I have to wait 14 days and have 25 posts before I can post in that forum.
