Some more ideas:
Yeah.
It was actually about 10 hours straight from prototyping fonts and quote styles to the final designs. Which is pretty long when the final design is just the text <rizon> and a quote bubble saying "Where are you?" :/
edit: but then there are:
3 color iterations
3 bubble iterations
6 stroke iterations
2 caps iterations
3 text iterations
which leads to 324 possible logos
so i guess 10 hours is an alright time for creating 324 logos
edit2: there were about 10 different font considerations between the "Where are you?" text and the main "rizon" text. I settled on ProFont for "Where are you?" since it's arguably one of the best monospace fonts and most IRC clients default to various monospace fonts, and Myriad Pro for "rizon" because it's generally a great font, and extremely similar to Helvetica but offering a condensed typeface (which was used here).

We will put every entry into a hat and draw one at random.
Since I'm always flying Rizon, I thought I could kill some time and contribute some.
It was supposed to look like a feather, but, eh, guess it looks more like fire, lol...
Anyway, besides this I made an slightly altered to also fit more on a transparent/bright background.
It's mostly vector art, so np to resize. Also looks ok in 256colors gif/png-8. Though these are png-24.
Someone suggested (outside of the forums) that I replace the O with the world.
