I actually thought about that. Would make sense if we go with a theme of astronomical names and I'd be happy if someone could pull it off. But my experience is that logos (and favicons) do best when they are not 'subtle' and 'intricate' ie. not too many colors, a simple pattern and well-defined edges. Just my .02.
