How could I portray insanity & strangeness in a logo?

I''m working on my (personal) website and I''m trying to think of a good way to make the logo radiate a feeling of "insanity" and "strange". I''ve tried using various types of noise in different ways, but for some reason it always ends up feeling like the theme is "chaos" (or sometimes "order") which is not what I want. Any ideas, examples, etc?

Curved lettering with no logic to it - I don't know, pretend you're crazy and draw what a crazy person would draw. Imagine if you gave the work to a crazy person what you would get back from it.

It's not what you're taught, it's what you learn.
If you already have a symbol try dividing it into squares then pushing some squares back and pulling some forward try using noise on the joins afterward.

If you don't have a symbol I think a WARPED brain or a cerebral cortex
with your title letters wrapped around it would be cool

You can copy the idea and make doors instead.

Strange, I've had several people suggest something like that =-)

The opening credits in the movie Se7en. Look like they were written by a very very disturbed person.

It looks too geometric to be insane... I mean, it doesnt suggest insanity at all. The Seven7 suggestion is good.
Also the guy with the valve in the eye (valve logo - Half Life) looks very very insane and disgusting.
