Perhaps giving a liquid look similar to water to the "f" will help. I also think about
italic handwriting "f" style inside the infinity symbol.

Yes, faded while gives a sense of depth. I actually use Inkscape to 
reproduce the logo so it will be logical to make log as svg. I converted
it to opaque png as majority of users still use Internet Explorer (lack
of transparency for png).
