CaneLogo Design Contest

I like this one, but for "cane" in the middle, I want you to combine the word "cane" in some way so the letters all connect and make some kind of a symbol. for example, make the "C" big and put the "A" inside it, and then connect the "N" and "E" some how. Does that make sense?

We like it. Please make the "Cane" less bulky. Also can you reduce the design detail on the periphery.
