Software\Web\Systems Engineering startup needs logo

I am starting a small software/web/system engineering consultation service. I would like to have a logo that will label my work.

marked systems

I just want a simple logo that will give an idea of what company does.  I am going to be doing some consultation for clients in the software/web/systems engineering fields.  Logo needs to stand out, and mark my work.  I am not a designer so all I currently have is at: http://www.markedsystems.com I would like something along those lines, maybe with a 'check mark' included.  Maybe tie in a software engineering theme to it. Company name comes from using my first name. I would maybe like something along those lines, but you guys are the professionals so I would love to see what you all come up with!

- simple yet powerful - show what work I do: software, web, engineering, analytics, development.... - design in vector format. I use GIMP.

- clipart - flashy design

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Logo design starts at $399.
