Magazine Logo

Meloschez

Hey crew,
I'm designing a logo typeface for a contemporary culture magazine: Citizen Magazine.
It's a rough sketch but I've been slowly chopping away at it for a while and I just can't look at it anymore in a critical way.

any feedback?

thanks

Sorry, but it reads "aTSZEN" because the c is morphing into the i and the second i doesn't match the first.

When I lose objectivity, I have to take an overnight break from the project. I also find it helpful to print it out at multiple sizes; it's truly amazing what paper and ink reveals.

Right, Thanks alaskan. I should have seen the 'a' comment coming.
Is combination of slab and regular serif appropriate?
Thanks for viewing!

Beware of stylistic similarities with Danzk logo (which also appears to be some sort of lifestyle magazine) - http://www.chopeh.com/work/danzk
