Logo crit'

Sébastien Sanfilippo

I am working on this logo for a new organization that wants to bring—promote— design to business people in Belgium.
I want to make a logo that can be used as patterns or blown up big and remain abstract. Any suggestions for improvements?

—the typeface is Avenir 85 Heavy

Thanks

It’s too generic. It could be for a design firm anywhere in the world.

Also, the ratio between the icon and the logotype is out of proportion. The icon is way too large.

I don’t think the color treatment will translate into black & white. Remember, a logo needs to work in all forms of media, including newsprint and fax.

Work on some more concepts and also provide a little more background information on what you want to achieve. That will help us give better crits.
