first version...waiting for clients feedback.

Overall I like it very much, though I must say I am not sold on the typography.

It doesn't integrate well with the style of the illustration.
I'm seeing something more hand-drawn and humanist.

Don't care at all for the white for the letting at bottom -too jarring. Since it is such a bold face I think you could easily bring it down in tone to something closer to the background color.

maybe the tracking on third eye could be changed a bit, like the space between the i isn't dead on, but damn fine if I do say so myself.... why can't I get clients like that bleh....

I like the background and hate the text, the color, font and treatment. I would play around with several style and colors and try to intergrate it better like what the other posters said. Really digging the pipes.

hm, its not finished (hence the spacing in type), just a feel and look to see what the client says. i will not go for any hand written fonts or old school, need more modern look to it. im trying to find a balance between the natural illustration and some modern fonts. thnx for all the c&c guys.

really like the design, apart from the typography.
I think it doesn't need to be as heavy as it is.
suppose it all depends on what your client says though. what we say is largely irrelevant. apart from boosting/beating down your ego ;)
hope all goes well with this though!

in fact i've just had a thought. is that a font based on the same one which the chemical brothers use?

love the pipes they must have sent you mad drawing them - love the little tap and mouse - more easter eggs please!!!

The colour of the text seems to pop too much - I think a serif font in the style of the top eye perhaps??? or would that recess too much?

I love the top eye but it just seems quite far away from the overall crisp graphic style; would it work in the red or the pipe brown? - The two red eyes - could you tweak them to make them none clones, as you have done elsewhere with the pipes none symetry.

a few fiddles and I think you're there...
