Gluing IT Together
I do a lot of different things out here on the web, but one of them is generally as an extension of “what I do” in real life. So, knowing that I’m not as much of a designer as I used to be (hahahahaha!!!), but knowing I can handle project management, estimations, production and some development, I keep around a Design site or two that I have.
Mostly, though, I work in User Experience.
So, given that I’ve turned on registration in order to comment so that I don’t get 3000 spams in a day that I have to approve / disapprove, the ol’ commenting has sorta stopped–not that it hadn’t all but up-and-died anyway… Anyway. Update on this: Comments shut back off for non-registered users; too much spam for me overnight. No worries, I’d never sell off all 8 of your names, anyway.
I’ll turn it back on to see what people like for the name of a new thing I’m doing: UserGlue
That’s where it’s at currently, but there’s a whole page of them here.

Happy birthday.
I like the concept of the logo… and for particulars, I like the top row, right logo the best for its simplicity. Plus, its 2-color, which if you venture into print, is nice and easy. The one you posted above is nice, but the “gl” is a bit odd. You angled the L, which I guess makes sense if its bleeding into the drip. But I’d mirror it and angle the R to match if you want it that way.
The proportions on the G are a little distracting, they draw my eye in almost too much, keeping me from reading the logo and tagline. The top pg the G should be a little longer and the bottom a little less so. The filled in drops were also a nice effect. For what I mean - Hacked together in photoshop.
Just my $.02 cents as a fellow designer stuck in a programmers world.

PS- in addendum to my other comment - the color of the drop makes me think of water, not glue. The orange in the other logos might be more glue-like.
