I agree, often the most successful companies have simple logos ( e.g. 
Nike etc. ) It's also easier to kept in mind.

Me too :)

Have a look at 99designs.com, perhaps you can find some sort of inspiration.

Finding a good logo is not easy, we had for instance a process of over a 
half year together with a professional designer - until we found an 
agreement. One of the first steps was to collect words about the 
meaning/image of our company. Like round/angled, female/male, 
bright/dark, coloured/b&w etc.

Thanks,
Torsten
