Your name is a tangible noun, "top hat monocle", so there's no need to re-iterate that in the logo. Also it doesn't tell me much about the product, which is ok, but the logo could be an opportunity to communicate a bit.
You might want to go a little further outside the box for the logo, be less literal. Play with letterforms and theme a little more, and drop the text from the logo. That will help avoid the clip-art look, as well.
