@blazer - haha - I did not see the 'umbrella'!! This originally started as radial play buttons but I suppose that got a little lost.

Here is one without it and a few icons. I like the color (which really could be anything) and not just the monochrome. Why exactly do people care about the logo being monochrome?

That's better with just solid. The reason monochrome is important is for printing purposes. If a logo works as one solid color, it means any color can be applied to it. So say you have a blue t-shirt, but your logo has blue in it. If you print the logo on that shirt, parts of the logo will not be visible. If you have a solid white logo, it will show up properly. Same goes with solid black. Also the more colors, the more expensive it gets to print.
