Simplicity and effectiveness are pretty key with a many good logos. Simple, colourful logos are imprinted in your memory much easier. But at the same time you want to look at it and know exactly what it's telling you that it's representing in a matter of a couple seconds. If it's something that you have to read and tilt your head a couple times to figure out, even if it looks cool, then it's probably not doing what it's supposed to be doing.
I'm assuming you were talking about the roundel. Here's an example of it at 100px:



The smaller version loses the tower and the 'dome, but I didn't intend for them to be major elements. Shorten to 'Unofficial Flames Community' and you're golden!
