Contest Brief

I need a logo for my tech site/blog.

1.) Logo should say 'Talaysen' or 'Talaysen WS' (Company name is Talaysen Web Services)
1a.) I'm open to suggestions on #1, if you think something works better or looks better, run with it!
2b.) Font should be reasonably simple, and very easy to read. Do not used copyrighted font.
2.) Before the word Talaysen, I'd like four icons: Apple/Mac, Linux Penguin, Wordpress 'W', and Minecraft Block Icon
2a.) These four icons should be arranged closely together, in a square or diamond.*
2b.) These icons should not be taken from copywritten content.
2c.) These icons do not need to be elaborate, it could be a simple outline, as long as it's clearly recognizable for what it is.
2d.) *If you can incorporate the icons IN to the lettering (IE: inside the a, a, e, n) or such, it'd be perfectly acceptable!

I've attached pictures of the icons, in case you aren't familiar with them. I don't want to use these exact pictures, as they are copyrighted.
It's important to me that this logo look clean and professional, simple. Feel free to embellish where you think it adds quality/value/appeal.
The logo shouldn't be HUGE, take a look at the theme that it's going to be used on:

Text approximately the same size. I'm flexible on color choices, though I'd prefer that each icon be a different color.

Additionally, at least two of those fonts I recognize as copyright protected fonts from popular font sites. I've rejected all three of your reasons for this reason, and the before-mentioned use of copyright protected images.

  The fonts that I have used either thin, light or regular. These three versions are generally available for FREE.

  Generally available for free for non-commercial use. This logo is for a commercial site, and doesn't change the fact that the icons in the images -are- copyright protected images and are not suitable to be directly input into the banner. The reason for rejection was multi-layered, as the work wasn't up to par, even precluding the other issues.

I was implicit in my instructions that the icons provided should not be used in the graphic as they are copyright protected images belonging to someone else. They are meant to be a guide, inspirational.

The contest has six days and 22 hours (as of now) remaining.
The length and height should be around 400x150px, though I am fine with larger sizes (wider) if it allows for a more appealing logo.
