Hi Lindsey, thanks for your submissions (#177, #178)
We like a couple of things about this design: It incorporates digital elements (the dots) and has decent looking text. However, we have been urging designers to stay away from letterform logos. While yours is better looking than most letterforms, we would still like to see other ideas. We're looking for an abstract 3D icon with photorealistic styling and a definite precision & aggressiveness to it. The text should have more of a "technical" or "scientific" feel to it, as well.
Although there is not much time left in the contest, this icon is currently in our top ten because of how well it's made, and we'd definitely like to see your talent applied to new ideas. Looking forward to seeing them. Thanks!
