We appreciate the elegant styling and unique shape of your design. Despite being a letterform, which we are trying to avoid, you've managed to create an original shape that doesn't immediately look like a letterform, and furthermore resembles an infinity loop.
However, we're looking for a different style for our logo. Primarily, we want a 3D appearance, or at least a photorealistic effect, in conjunction with an edgy, technologically-oriented theme. Neither the icon nor the font, although good-looking, achieve this combination. (Also, #191 has low contrast and the text is very difficult to read.)
While there is less than a day left in the contest, we really hope to see some fresh ideas from you that are closer to the desired appearance. Thank you!
