I think I'll play around with a few colours to see what effect that gives.
I think the problem with this logo was that I tried to make something that I thought looked good rather than trying to ensure it showed a particular image
I like it. But the space between the "L" and the "a" is a tad uncomfortable. I'm having a little bit of trouble grouping them.
Tried changing the letter sizing/spacing as suggested:
![]()
I definitely agree that it was a good idea to change the shaping of the 'm'
I don't like the lower case "I" though. Maybe you should go with an all caps type face?
