I agree. I like the eSteem logo.

I'm the same way about websites and logos typically. I figure it is personal preference a lot of times but when really focusing on the branding you can't mess it up from the beginning because of the reasons like you said. I'm just wondering if in a couple of years if the majority of users will be accessing the site through another site or app and Steemit Inc will be kind of like the Linux kernel project and then people are over using openSuSE or RedHat ....etc.

But for now Steemit.com is the main way in and the things you mentioned are important.

I feel like you have a branding background or something. You know quite a bit about it.
