I think it looks nice and does what you have in mind.

But the success of a logo composed of little more than a large word will depend in large part on how well the individual letters in that word work together. Frond looks nice, but the actual name you’re working with might give it a very different personality or result in kerning issues of various sorts.

I’m all for simplicity, but if it were me, I’d try to find some elements within the glyphs that can be modified in some way to give the logo a customization that makes it unique instead of it being just a typed out word in Arno Pro.

I agree with Mr-B. There’s nothing in the design that says it’s you, designer1, nothing that puts your stamp on it. If you could work on that, retaining your original idea of keeping it simple, you might be able to come up with something remarkable.

Try to modify the typeface to make it a bit more unique in some way.
