I'll send it. I may have missed clicking the 'email password' box...

Not to picky, I have the exact same criticisms, but I wasn't able to
incorporate a web, the acronym, and the full name... doing just PIW
with a web motif would be easier to make less 'foggy'. I matched the
logo color with the rest of the site color which ends up kind of
light, but it could be a completely different color.
This is actually the second logo although the changes are subtle.
I'll keep playing in my free time if people have more feedback.
Increasing contrast/readability is high on the list. What do folks
think about just using the acronym?
