Brief from client
For use primarily on my portfolio cover and promotional material for freelance work. Art must to be suitable for print or web in high resolution.
WORK IN PROGRESS
As a challenge to myself, I've decided to strip the vector drawing down to black and white and see if it still holds water. Textures and drop shadows and brushed steel look cool but if the logo doesn't hold up at its most basic, effects are a crutch.

Note that all colors are placeholders only, as this is a work in progress. I wanted to see whether I liked different layers lighter or darker, exact hues can come later.
Mostly I posted this just to hold myself to my word and take the challenge, rework something I regarded as mostly finished, strip it naked, and let everyone take a swing at it.
I have a problem with the "shadow" lines through the center box. That is a weird curve and then another curve cuts through the initials. It just doesn't seem natural and looks like its trying to be an app from a few years ago =( I am still a fan of your clean typography tho!!!
