    Hi Elclanrs, this is a cool looking logo. Gives off a love for the feudal era of Japan, ^_^. Don't know if you intended that though for this design. Here is what I think will improve your design:

    1. Change the t in studios. It doesn't look so much like a t, it can be mistaken for an r.

    2. Reconsider the t and n in noto. I like the idea you have behind them, but it may be too much. I would suggest keeping the n the way it is in the second version and change the t. It looks more like a katana and adds a major part into why I think it gives a feudal Japanese era vibe, instead of a web design company vibe.

      Those are my only two major concerns, but overall this is nice.

      I like the t in studios, but maybe try making it even on both sides.

      The t in NOTO now can be mistaken as an umbrella or katana. Maybe try widening the horizontal crossing line. It might be able to be recognized better as a t that way.

      Your logo does a good job of maintaining its look and feel with different color schemes. The problem with the t now that it is a weired shape. Keep the area you altered straight like in #2 and try rounding both corners at the bottom. That might take away the katana look.

      This is a good improvement. It looks more like a t now.
