I like everything about this and where your going with this logo. I like the offset or the circle/e. Could you try and clean it up a bit more. I just want to see what else you can do with the concept. But I do like how clean it is and again the font is really nice.
I still like the original one but I think the icon needs a little work. Can you try and square the end of it instead of it being rounded. The font and the colors are fine. Just try some different revisions of the icon but still use the same concept. Thanks. Great job.
I just remembered that it looks like chase bank logo. Sorry. It is cool but I really don't want anything that reminds people of something else. Especially a bank.
