    Why don't you try curving the text around the circle? You could do it easily in Photoshop or Imageready.

    The most obvious thing to do, as Roman_Only suggested, would be to curve the URL around the logo. Personally I'd probably put it on the side of the logo. I'd put it on the left side since people generally read from left to right so it would be natural for them to look at the left side of your logo first and see your URL. I'd use a good solid font like Impact or some other blocky type font just for contrast since your logo is round to begin with and has that curvy line in it. That will help to make your URL stand out even more since it will lack any real curves.

    By the way, I like the logo you've got. Nice and simple and visually appealing. Good job whoever did it.

    definitly curve the url under the logo using paths in photoshop. Contrary to the reply before mine id use a pixel font, or a small clear arial font as it's more of a addon to the design rather then a visual selling point of the design. If u use a blocky text and put it to the left you'll have to change the code, and it'll also steal away from the design of the logo (which is very nice btw)
