I find myself liking the center bar the most as well.
However, I am really liking Ben Lowery's keyhole concept more.
Although this moves away from simplicity, I thought about merging these two concepts.
This might offend graphic artists everywhere due to my poor Inkscape skills.
Everything about this is draft, not properly aligned, sized etc. but I think it gets the rough idea across.

The middle bar is perforated ("snapped") and snaps the word "tarsnap" in two, but also resembles network packets. The bar fading towards the edges suggests its circular nature i.e. the globe.The thing I like most about this is the center bar which on closer inspection might be a series of packets. I guess I like things which are superficially simple but actually have hidden meaning...
