Pretty cool!
The oily "a" is really great (although I think you need a lot more light/dark contrast - as you have it it's too flat).

But I wouldn't make the logotype/name the same way. And I don't think Democratica is working. Try a script maybe, like Linoscript? Something upright, narrow and mannered.
Maybe Bernhard Modern:

A little bit cliche, though, I guess.
