Brief from client
I am a young web developer.
I live in the UK, and I noticed that my surename is far too complicated for British people. So I came up with a name
"The Avalanche" for my portfolio website
I dont know is it a good logo or it should be more suggestive to the programming

I'd scrap this personally.
Why not abbreviate your name and go for something lie 'Adrian Grzski' or 'Adski'? You could create something really cool there imho.
Also, i'd stay away from trying to come up with visual takes on programming etc as it would potentially your visual identity too generic.
Get a sketchpad and brainstorm for a day or two before you move to the computer.. ;)
Good luck.
Hello Adrian, my surname ( Puchinsky) makes it hard for people in U.S.A. to pronounce, too. I know how you feel about that.There is that famous polish joke about it: " what is a Polish groom gives to a Polish bride on a wedding day that is long and hard? the answer is - last name." Speaking on your concept here - I wouldn't use " the ". I still wonder about whether to think is there a double " A " or a stylized " M "? Do not use that outline, keep one solid color, search for a better font and bring that feeling of that pile of snow coming at you with a speed of a light. Adrian, try a few different versions and see how far it will take you. Looks like white will be your dominant color to express an avalanche.
It doesn't work for me and the idea of mountains are nothing unique. If you struggle with your identity in Britain, I do think you would try your best to stand out as a unique individual or character or business so the mountain doesn't say that.
How does mountains and avalanches relate to your east European surname?
