It's a beautiful image and I think it hints at how the text and its 
message have become iconic.  I find the color slightly problematic in a 
couple of ways.  First, classic minimalists inlucing Mies ( I think ) 
would have eschewed color.  Unless it appeared either sufficiently 
"lurid" or else sufficiently "industrial" in the case of some.  But it 
is not clear that you are trying to mimic a classicly minimal art piece. 
  But then there is my second objection.  I just don't like the bluish 
grays at top and bottom all that much.  It's okay, I just wonder if some 
other choice might work better. I do understand that you are probably 
quoting the idea of the three primaries. But I think a harmony along a 
single axis ie green/red or blue/yellow  might work better.

But all in all, I like the "take".  It seems to echo a lot of the themes 
from the minimalism era.
