Hi, One lesson learned from Mahout logo is that we should also check whether this design is unique enough. For example one of the early design concept of Mahout logo was found to be very close to existing logo for some machine learning related project (though such thing is not very probable it happend). As for the sun motive there are tons of logos having sun in it so we should be careful...
Anyway, I will try to work with the O and will kepp you posted once I have some results. In the meantime we can still collect constructive criticism here.
