I like Steve's version with the hand and page a lot... just add the rings. Maybe with the ones and zeros like Mercury7 has.
Are you thinking of changing the favicon, too? It's not so indicative of the site right now, but I do use it to find the right tab if I have several up. |

Maybe the bottom half of the page could be zeros and ones fading into letters and words in the top half. And MobileRead should be a bit bigger and bolder.

Slanting thin screen ...
... is really nice. Needs the 3D, and gives the paper-thin feel.
Constructive comments: -- the buttons scattered around do not add much; and imply a certain interface (why do I need buttons, why not just gesture across the screen to change the page?) -- the oval rings behind give a nice continuity from the current logo (but they need to be hidden where they cross 'behind' the screen -- many lines of text is a little too busy for a logo. Just put the words 'mobile read' in there? That may be a bit too empty .. so how about a graphic or an image below it? [hmm .. a simple tree?]. Books are not just text... Lexico |

I like the idea of text in the logo. Since there are readers from all over the world that check out this site, the text should be the word "Welcome" in different languages. Of course because of the size of the logo it would be very hard if not impossible to read it is the thought that counts.

I don't think the actual text in the logo is important... unless you plan on displaying it very large, no one's going to be able to read it anyway. At the size of the current logo, everyone will be able to recognize that it is text, even if they can't actually read it. (And at smaller sizes, it doesn't matter what language it's in.)
Personally, I don't have a problem with not carrying the rings over into a new logo. To me, the rings suggest wireless, but this site is about mobility, which isn't necessarily connected to wirelessness. OTOH, I wouldn't curse the gods if the rings were there. Maybe, instead of text on the screen, the rings would be on the screen as a logo... |

I put the floating buttons in, to make sure the viewer recognized that they were indeed looking at some type of electronic device (books don't have buttons). They are not necessarily logical, but visually they are iconic.
