Experiment with a text logo designer that generates new iterations based on your indicating which ones you like.
Mark Maker is a prototype. It generates logos and refines them based on your feedback. As you use it, the system tries to learn what you like, and over many sessions, it attempts to understand the visual vernacular associated with logos for different kinds of companies.
Experiment until you find a design you like. If you want to take it to the next level, try some of the modification (edit) tools. What do you notice as you indicate styles you like>
When you save your image, take a look at the info file it generates. For the DS106 logo above, we get:

@creating #tdc4869 I was intrigued to try and see how Mark Maker suggested logos for my non brand "CogDogBlog", mostly with variations on the word and letters.
I ended up favoriting in on variations with the rough shaped lettering. I did not even notice the little smile on the dot.
