My Finite Structures professor asked me to design a new logo for the CS
department. After a little back-and-forth, I came up with something I think
looks good, and my prof. likes it, but I thought I'd get an outside opinion.
I have another version in PNG format, with transparency...
Comments?

Nice idea. Department is not very readable. I would make the text narrower
and move it on so everything can be read.

Any possibility of a white/transparent background? Sooner or later someone
will want to print it.
It's too complex for a logo, but could make a neat splash screen for
presentations etc.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo - think icon.

Maybe you could add the text multiple times around, twice or thrice, so
everything could be read. You could even add a background for the text
if you need to.

I don't think the current configuration is too complex, but I could be wrong.
There is transparency in the PNG, but it was too large to attach without
cutting it down in Photoshop.
The text idea is a good one, but I'd rather not make it too small. As for
adding a background to the text... I don't know.
Thanks for the advice,
A.D.B.

This is not a logo.
A logo should be simple enough to be recognizable with a very few
colors, and should be simple enough to be recognized within a few tens
of seconds by the viewer (think of well known brand logo in sportwears,
computer or cars, can you see a single one being a tenth as complex as
your image?).
Your logo should ideally be instantaneously recognizable even being
printed B&W on a mug, engraved in stone, etc.
The logo will have to be used on paper letter printed B&W, on stickers,
etc. It cant be so complex in shape and color moreover on a black
background.
I like your image, this may be a good start point, but it's not a logo.
