Logo ideas

[Johnathan]

Hey, trying to make a logo. I want it to look sorta Web 2.0 and cool. Not having much luck, I was thinking about doing something 3D in Illustrator but it was running to slow so I moved into Photoshop to see what I could get. I got it sort of 3D, not the way I would have liked it. It looks cool enough and would do but I want to have something good. Anyone have any ideas for it?

It wont be on the black background, that's just so I could see properly what was going on.

By the way it's going to be for a social networking site.
