Wow, things have changed! The other entries have really improved. So, I think I misguided you a bit on the moose color. I think it went back a little too far light, and it didn't help the blending in problem. I think perhaps the "M" should be a little different shade than the moose - just a little.
Now the other part. I think the font is now holding it back. It is traditional, and that may not make sense with a tech company. So, I would try a different font that still maintains the strength of the logo, and allows you to do some highlighting within the font. I think that is an advantage some of the other entries have.
I truly appreciate your effort. We'd like to create subsidiaries so we can use more logos!
