I see that your preferences are changing dynamically, so I'll try to help. Keep in mind where and how you will use the logo - website, letterhead, business card, watermark and so on. How many can be reduced, eg business card, is there small elements which will be lost? How do logo will stand of a document - centrally or laterally aligned? Is it possible only graphic element to be used without text - Branding, embroidery and so on.?
I hope I've helped
