If you're printing the logo (postcards, business cards, or letterhead), will you want something that uses normal 4C CMYK inks, or are custom Pantone colours okay? T-shirts can be silkscreened using pretty much any colour of choice, but, there might be limitations, depending on the place printing them.
Does the logo need to be adaptable in terms of proportion or colours used, or a fixed design that is set in stone? Web banners, because of the odd proportion, might affect how much you might want to alter the base logo to retain its integrity. The need for a more flexible design will present different considerations than one that can only needs to, or can work one way.
Does the mascot need to be part of the logo, or is it something separate than should or could incorporate stylistically? Does the mascot need to be designed with further uses other than print? 3D figurines, plush dolls, key chains? Limitations in molds will need to be factored in, should you choose to get ambitious.

I originally meant to put a comma between 'can only' and 'needs to', but, realised that the 'or can only work one way' was redundant.
so, it should read as:

should read as:

It's probably best to limit it to standard CMYK.

Once the design is done I'd like to be able to keep it the same for each purpose.
Print / web banner only. Should be designed on it's own and the winning mascot should be incorporated into the logo in a stylish manner.Jeff Wong said:
Do you want the logo to only read diyAudio.com, or should it include the tagline, "projects by the fanatics, for the fanatics"?
Does the 'diy' portion need to be in lower case next to the capitalised 'Audio', or can it be in caps, as long as it is still readable (separated by a colour perhaps)?
Should the design be made to fit the Bulletin Board proportion of 332x76?
Is the smallest usage going to be for a business card, or something smaller, like a 6mm CD spine?
Do you want the colour to tie in with the existing BB colours?
