I don't immediately see how to combine the style of the two logos.  

However, I have made a couple of minor changes:

I have "opened" the "o" and also added the corresponding version in a
single line.  The lower left hand box contains the normal reversed and
single-line versions of that idea, and the "oN" logotype in the bottom
right would be its favicon, avatar, symbol mode. The shape is
sufficiently idiosyncratic that all versions could be used in
appropriate circumstances.  The logotype can be seen as a node in the
corner, or as a small 'o' overlapping the capital 'N', or as some sort
of highlight.  It serves as a unique identifying detail obviously. 

In this example, I have also reduced the sixe of the "NIC" slightly,
only in the reverse (white-on-black) version.  If this idea were
persued, that would probably be a good idea.

Anyway, I won't waste any more time on that doodle unless people think
it is worth refining.  Some of the spacing is crap.
