Okay, I feel like I should take a swing or two at this as well.
In the following two cases, there isn't any special font being used. I'm just using inkscape to trace out the characters that I want show...
Of these two logos that I sent, my preference is for the second.
My personal opinion is that you shouldn't try and get too hung up about the acronym that you are trying to capture and represent... (I say this even though I did my best to incorporate the letters... blah). I think sometimes that capturing the concept is more important than capturing the acronym.
Case in point, take a look at the USB logo:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cId-qdXRcqg/UXE0Nya6FAI/AAAAAAAAAPU/8KGiICpEQa0/s1...
The logo is incredibly simple and doesn't try and spell out USB.. however, it does capture the essence of the interface and what it seeks to accomplish and I think that is what makes it memorable.
That is really all I wanted to drop by and say. -Mike
I vote the second as well.

The second one look pretty nice. It gives me some more ideas too. I think it could use some symmetries, maybe on a circle. Time to revitalize my GIMP skills. I'll try to make something too. Besides logos are fun.

The first one has something that looks suspiciously like a penis on the bottom-right.
I'm sure it doesn't look like that if you're an electrical engineer, or whatever, but people -- especially kids and teenagers -- *will* see that, and that's probably not the kind of attention EOMA needs. :)

By the way, I think these are the best logos I've seen on this list. The only gripe I have (well, other than the unintentional phallus in the first one) is that they don't really seem to represent modularity; the first one, in particular, rather looks like a circuit board, and one of the major points of EOMA is that users *don't* have to look at circuit boards to perform upgrades; they just have to pop out a card and replace it with another card. It seems like there must be some possible way to use this basic logo concept to represent that somehow.

At the very least, then, the logic gates should be inside the box.

But also keep in mind that logo is about identity, not business model that exist today. Who knows what tomorrow brings. So, if you go one step up from modularity there is idea of saving resources by reusing stuff, opens software etc. So, if you say you swap cards you somehow limit yourself.

Are we looking for a logo for a business? Or a logo for a standard? or a standards organisation?

The problem with that is that we aren't just talking about one standard, but in the end we are talking about multiple very similar standards, so it would probably be more confusing not to incorporate textual reference that easily can be searched as a keyword to find out what the symbol means. The numbers and letters probably have to be incorporated, as inelegant as it may sound.
