Logo ideas
Here is some ideas and "preferences" of mine.
Different Mediums
First, think about how this will look on different mediums like t-shirts, business cards and in superbowl ads (kidding). For example the winner of this logo competition submitted this alongside his entry so you can see exactly what his entry would look like on the different kinds of packages FreeBSD comes in. The people who submit t-shirt art to Threadless do the same thing. I really like this idea; if you can, try to put your logo on different printed materials. If you are looking for shirt models, we used this site, which is who we get our T-Shirt blanks from. You can see our feeble efforts here
Color Schemes
Second, I'm probably going to completely dump this color scheme, so don't be afraid to suggest a new one. I don't like the green I'm using for the text background because I think it is too dark and doesn't provide adequate contrast with the text.
As far as colors, I am a fan of less saturated, earthy colors. I think it gives a site an aire of sophistication. It is critical that the logo will work in two or three solid colors. If you look, the freebsd guy included artwork for black & white, greyscale, and a two color job.
Font Set
Make sure your font choice will not clash with san-serif'd fonts like verdana.
Misc
I really like that with the photographica logo, I can make the black "GRAPHICA" white for the t-shirts - it makes the logo more flexible when you can do that kind of stuff. I also like that if I wanted, I can remove the film bars and just stick to the text.
For some inspiration, here are some others. Take a look at logos you like and think about why. Don't be afraid to ask me what I like or what I'm going for :-)
Keep it up, and make sure to spread the word about this contest!
Can you hear it!

Artclick logo
New name, new ownership, new logo.. oh my!
Ownership
I figure I'll announce this now. artClick (and photographica) is part of the Mozi Media Group, LLC. Named after my childhood dog, the whole idea is to keep you from taking my house, car and other non-existant assets away. While previously you granted arsgraphica the perpetual right to display your work, you now are granting Mozi Media Group, LLC the perpetual rights to display your work. Nothing big here.
artClick Logo Contest
As you can see, this website now needs a logo. Mine, well, sucks. Shall we do a logo contest?
