Good idea.
Philokalia
The Philokalia or some of the books of extracts from it. For that matter, there are few enough Orthodox resources there are a number I'd go for ... John Breck, Johanna Manley are some contemporary authors of excellent Bible related texts.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

There are a couple of EO theology resources in the Theological Studies Collection (in pre-pub), and Daniel Clendenin's Eastern Orthodox Theology set is in the Baker Theology Collection (also in pre-pub), but I agree the EO resources are weak.
How about some works by Alexander Schmemann? I don't know his complete ouevre but I have these and would give them a thumbs up:
For the Life of the World: Sacraments and Orthodoxy (Alexander Schmemann) - wonderful book, I just read it!
The Eucharist Sacrament of the Kingdom (Alexander Schmemann)
His How to Pray and introduction to the Orthodox Church (I've fogotten the exactly title) have been classics since my college days - certainly How to Pray is a classic for spiritual direction and I highly recommend it. But I'm enough of an old fogey still using bookshelves to prefer that Logos concentrate on things with enough Scriptural references for the search capabilities to justify the purchase. I know this will change - I'm just not rushing it.[:D]

As a user of Logos who is also Orthodox, I would have to agree to all of the suggestions above. But let me also present my preferred list of what I would call essential modern Orthodox theologians:
I would have to disagree with one of the previous posters, there are a lot of Orthodox resources in Logos. Those would be the large numbers of texts (although far from all) that we have from the Fathers. We just have few writings from modern Orthodox persons [:D]

good point! [:D]
[Y] on your suggestions.

Whew! Does this mean what I think it does? You'll be pushing for more Orthodox resources and I can move on to the Oriental church resources[:D]

How about we both push for both. Then we show more interest to Logos and get more resources [:)]
Seriously, while I am (now) Orthodox, my academic pursuit is the Syriac speaking Churches.
For those of you who haven't yet found out, there is now an Orthodox suggestion at Logos' new Uservoice site for prepubs: Add more Orthodox works, and also one for Patristics: Add more Patristic works. Please go add your votes. And then add the remainder of your votes to other suggestions -- preferably mine.
(There is also a new Uservoice site for CP's, with another ten new votes for you to spend: http://communitypricing.uservoice.com/forums/183260-general/filters/top.)

Staniloae would not hurt either.
