Hmm ... my gut reactions (which are usually the best I come up with on graphics questions)

-- definitely prefer text to the left/image to the right orientation

-- pretty much hate the image here, looks like someone tried to draw a d-pad from a 360 controller (so much that I figure your artist is in their 20's) ... or an apple with a bite missing ... or a fat man stick figure missing an arm and with only one leg ... but nothing like a table. So bad it's distractingly bad (just IHMO)

-- font is fine by me

-- I see the logo working fine on pretty much any rectangular shaped media, not sure about how it'll present on square formats such as old-school shaped yard signs or print classifieds though. I worry that it might seem cramped/crowded on a true square.

edit: Also, I agree with this suggestion from the USFL site Trying to imagine how to best set it up so you GET that the open seat is for the customer......
Maybe an empty circle?
