Hello Everyone, here is a concept from another designer.  I like it...it's simple and modern.
On a side note, I was able to register simplyathletix.com, so I'm going to revise the logo to reflect the new site name.  I'm thinking that the 'x' should be the same colour as the word 'simply'.
 
Thanks for all your help so far! 
 
Regards.
Martin

Too busy.  Go with the last one, minus the squiggle, plus the grey shading.

Thank you everyone for your feedback...here is my MS Paint attempt...what do you think?
 
 
...minus the grey background.

Hi Martin,
    I'd keep the graphic.  Losing the grey is not a bad idea. The athlete character looks much more like an athlete now :-)   I've no particular opinion on the dot, except that the diamond in the second one does not look right.

I like the second one more, but would eliminate the wiggly stuff above.  It just makes it to tall.  I would not put it in front at this point, because it may interfere with the readability of the word simply.  It also makes the logo too wide.  Use the wiggle stuff elsewhere on the site for color etc.

Lose the thing on the top and just keep the bottom.  You resolve the height issue, the top piece seems like unnecessary fluff, and you can move on to your design.

Hello, here is the next revision...still didn't address the height of the logo, but I like the figure better...not sure how I feel about the dot in the image...thoughts?
 
I'm not sure why, but I'm still not feeling this logo 100%.  I think my preference is towards #1.  I can see the grey background posing problems with the layout/background of the site.  Perhaps do away with the grey all together?
 
Do you have any thoughts on the "S" and "A" picture?  What if that was taken out completely?  Hmm...I like the idea of having an image so that it can be used on a jersey and other print.
 
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
 
Regards.

Thank you both for your feedback.
 
@Hamesh, I agree with the "busy" part...the two images are not in harmony...
@katharina, great thought on using the colour for buttons and using other parts of the logo in the layout.
 
The idea of the person was to make it more "athletic", but at the same time had to be independent of any sport as I will keep expanding my product list...but it may be adding too much comlexity.
 
Thanks again...I will keep the revisions coming.
