CBL 3

Hey - its been awhile since I thought about any of this stuff, but here's my shot:

Tonal balance on all the colored ones is really nice. I Like the gooped up version, but don't really see how it would work on anything but a huge banner, with all that nifty machine surfacing. Is there another less detailed surface you could drop in there?

I think CBL3 and the one color are most readable, tho the actual band name drops out a little, on all versions, at least at screen size. I guess that's no biggie if the name appears elsewhere.

As an aside,I would stay away from those thin, curvy typefaces; you have a lot going on these logos already.

Rounding the outside lines of the "B" is a big help, but that crossbar at the bottom really overbalances all the other elements and I think, reduces the readability all around. Don't have any alternate suggestions for locating an "L" in there tho.

Really any of these would work at larger sizes even as-is, but you might have problems on a biznizz card or something.

I guess my main thought would be to reduce the visual weight of the "B" and bulk up the "C" to gain balance the letter forms a little. More weight under the crossbar might help keep the crossbar from being so aggressive.

Keep up the good work!
