When creating a logo is it best to make it a subtle silhouette or very apparent in the foreground?

I'm designing a logo for my blog and I'm stuck between making a sleek stylish professional looking logo, much like companies that blend their names with silhouettes or making a large very apparent one.
Keep in mind this is for a football blog that has to do with personal experiences, and will have many parents and players filtering through the site.
What are the pros and cons of each style?
