I'll working on it

I sent this markup out and I'm still getting responses from many thinking it is an "O". Is there anyway to maybe use more of a squared design or something to make the Q more pronounced ?

updated,
the sun removed

I think we would like to eliminate the sun above the "I" on this.

thank you, glad to hear that

Everyone loves the dock image inside the "Q". I like your revisions. it definitely makes The "Q" more pronounced.

I like your design. I think the "Q" is easily confused for an "O". At least that is the feedback I get when I show this to friends.

here we go..
the sun color has been updated

I really like this color, I think making the sun a subtle yellow on top of the "I" would be a great color combo

thanks for the feedback, will working it

Can you make the yellow stripes blue and leave everything else the same?

I like this concept, could you do this with ICE in upper case letters? I like the size of the ICE but would like them upper case. Also, could you use a gray blue color or Navy blue instead of yellow?
