Reasons why I don't like rycee1:

 - the bottom line is not balanced left-to-right, i.e. there's too much blank
   space on the bottom right;

 - the font looks childlike, and I find it a bit ugly;

 - in the UK, the filled red circle is strongly associated with a charity
   telethon called "Comic Relief" or "Red Nose Day":

   (notice the red circle replacing an 'o' in otherwise black text in
   Comic Relief's logo; the highlight is different but it's still too
   similar).

FWIW, I don't think that's a stretch (but I agree with zooko that the centre
circle should be more prominent).
