I agree this logo is the best. It has a penguin, it's a logo not a picture, it looks damn professional!
The other thing is, it's remarkably flexible. If you're adamantly opposed to cuddly animals, you can remove the penguin. You can include the current version or omit it. You can add architecture sub-logos if you want.
And, it's postscriptable. You can add it to a b&w ad or a full 4-color ad, or to your business card, or put it on promotional paraphenalia of all sorts. I'd pay good money for a T-shirt with this logo on it, but for a T-shirt maybe the penguin should be larger and sitting on top of the logo...

I like the "2.0" where it is, but I think the "SPARC" logo in the sample images looks too crowded. These are minor details, IMHO.
