I created that logo and I hate it too. Any other ideas? I'm a horrendous graphic designer but I'm down to try again, and I agree with your points entirely. We were sort of pushing to get it done at the time. We could consider 99designs.com at this point I suppose.
Holy crap icons are apparently affordable from iconshock, as are logos! I was imagining like $1000+ for a logo, never having commissioned one myself. Thanks!
I very much like the Apple bite idea with the C, and you're right, I've already made our site so Web 2.0 that what's a little nudge further? :) I'll get in touch with you, thanks.
Tough to figure out a menu icon: how can you immediately know what a menu looks like, maybe a rectangle with some fake lines of "text" and a wine glass pic? I've seen that somewhere...personally I think maybe the bite was my mistake (despite our chosen name) because it doesn't scale down well.
That was my original plan but I needed something for Twitter, etc. Maybe I could do what HN does (along with many others) and just use the first letter in a box when I need a smaller graphic. Thanks for the suggestion!
