Color Preferences
Red, Black, Grey or Blue. Not all of these colors need be included and possibly none of them. i am not sure a pink or yellow would go to well.

Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
I think there should be an emphasis on the domain name as when it becomes a sticker etc I want people to know that it is a website. So using .org in there somewhere would be a major plus.
I would like the logo to do well both with a black background and a white background.
I dig the Gold color.
A few ideas I would like to see would be to have a small Kseries engine in the logo or possibly using a lower case k... again these are just ideas.
I get a somewhat back to the future vibe from it... and I am not sure that the I in front of the words is working for me.
I have a few inspirational logos and images I plan on sharing but I was thinking I would wait until a few more people posted before showing them.
All in all I think a fresh start would probably be best, but a good start.
Here's the motor illustration revised. I also changed the typeface and included a couple of color options.
Additional options to consider: #16 doesn't have boarder around the talk bubble. #19 has a shadow below under the motor, which I think adds a nice touch.
I love love love #107. The talk bubble rotated 90 degrees fits better with the new engine and allows it to be enlarged quite a bit, which fixes some of detail issues you're seeing.
