Logo Critique (Tennis)

This is for a friend; it's a product he developed - working title is 'Racquet Armor'.

It's like head-tape for the top of your racquet but more substantial, more durable and more protective.

here are the logo samples I have so far, please give me your thoughts; focusing on the iconography and not on the logotype(although that probably IS the typeface we'll use)

Thanks.

No more WWW!?

The only letter in the english language to have more than 1 syllable is 'W' which has three, and we as web guys have to use 3 of them at the start of each of our projects.
I move to use either
1)a new 3-letter set (i.e. 'bbb', 'ppp')
or
2)make a one-syllable name for 'WWW' (i.e. can't think of any...)
Your thoughts?

'social media experts'

you can all go fuck yourselves you have a pretend job that is not real and only get hired at companies that don't have any sort of idea what's going on.
you have half a skillset - become a producer or designer or developer or analyst or strategist but what you do is only part of a job.
maybe you noticed that your role has no accountability - you're spouting shit about how to build at a dev, you're dictating strategy to a designer you're scoping for the producers and you are completely talking out of your bum-hole.
you make me want to become president of any company you work at so i can make you get up in front of the whole company and explain what you do and then then promptly fire you just for being a dickhead.
if you're an intern then this does not apply to you.

computer purchase - help!

buying a pc:

A) Dell Inspiron 530s
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8200 (6MB L2 Cache,2.66GHz,1333FSB)
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO 256MB

B) XPS 630
Intel® Core™2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.40GHz,1066FSB)
Video Card: Dual 256MB Radeon ATI HD 2600 XT

computer A is $800
computer B is $1800.

What's the big difference?
Why would I get the more expensive one?

P.S. I do flash/photoshop/after effects/cinema 4d/etc (all at the same time) for my job like most everyone else....

thanks!

Flash frame rate

what fps do you use when you develop in flash and why? I think 12 is way too slow; I use 30, especially when I have scripted movement(i.e. nav bars, etc). Why does Macromedia have the default set to 12? Anyone use 12? What do you think?

recycling

do you do it? does your company do it?

http://www.milkandcookies.com/li…

this is the penn & teller bullshit episode about it.

my company is way into it, but i'm just not totally convinced of the benefits; it seems that reducing consumption is really the only thing that's effective.

anyone have any knowledge they'd like to share?

Dell Laptop

question: if i bought a dell laptop could i pay extra to have it shipped to me in a day or two?

on their site it says it takes 7 days to build it, etc. but it seems like if i paid a little extra i could get it prioritized...

anyone have any experience with this?
