But the logo sucks. Pretty much a lot. Spoils the impression.

If the worst comment you receive about the service is the logo sucks - you are on to something!
Logo I did not even see one nor does it matter.
In five to 10 seconds the copy & design conveyed the site's purpose. I got it and thought cool - there is a need for this utility!
good luck!
I second that, the logo looks like it's ancient. It looks completely out of place in amidst the web 2.0 look and feel of the rest of the page.
It looks a bit retro - but strikes me as being easily recognizable and suits the topic quite well.
Perhaps they should A/B test the logo - try http://www.markiter.com (shameless plug)
I don't think it looks ancient. I immediately understood they purposely made it look like text on a pager.
I disagree, I like the logo.
