I started off with two T's bracketing "raversal" and "echnology" stacked on 
top of each other, but either the letters in between would have to be spaced 
widely making the logo rather large, or it would all end up very much 
squished together. So then I started moving things around a little, and got 
this:

Serif fonts aren't used for logo's all that often, but in this case it seems 
to work out. It's more "Reliable business partner since 2005" than "Whizbang 
new technology startup", but then that may be just the image Traversal wants 
to project.

By the way, for anyone who wants to fiddle with logos: vector drawing 
programmes are pefrect for this. Just install Inkscape and start playing, 
it's really useful already and easy to get the hang of. If anyone wants the 
SVGs I'll put them up too.

The beautiful landscape may be tricky to catch in a few lines, but it 
shouldn't be impossible. I like the idea of an opened window.
