I wouldnt make the contrast like that. as in why letters in black and black in the white...normally an effect like that is quite good. as in a sentence with white letters on black background, and it gradually becomes vice versa.

however in this case I find it to be unreadable and a bit of a headache causer ;)

try making the drop of water (or yin-yang part, however you want to call it). blue maybe? without changing the rest.

Make the text... a dark blue, add a thin dark blue border, and you got a winner.

Just the D and W, keep the ying and yang part, black and white.

Ah crap, I should have realized that dark blue wasn't the color to go with. I now suggest (after realizing how retarded I was being) that you use a lighter blue, and go with the first scenario.

eh... sorry about that -_-"

It might be the fact that it's rather large. If your going to use it as an avatar and keep your current sig (a good textured BG, with Chrono) it would look a lot better if you make it about 25% smaller. 75X75

Then match the blue you used to the light violet tint, to match the sig, because I believe that color repitition is something that grabs your attention.

i love the two-tone effect and blue suits your initials. But you im just not digging the ying/yang theme, its much too generic and used these days, my only idea would be to experiment with shapes around you and you can come up with somthing much more unique, being a super cool artist as you are, it wouldnt hurt to spend half hour doodling on paper like i did, would it?, you could pop out somthing much more personnal like mine:



Basicly, just shovel a few shapes around and make somthing which seems to fit your name much more fittingly, it can do so much better for the overall style :O

thank you shijing :p, i did doodle this... but after ive looked at it for a while it seems to not be me :S, i think its the yin yang like u said, the idea is the "S" shape it creates is ment to be part of DSW.... but the more i look at it the less i like it, thanks every1 for the advice, but im gonna remake it/develop it more :]

The yin-yang is a little cliched as an icon. It's a little impersonal because we know it has a complete context outsider your logo, and since it's supposed to be a personal logo... it doesn't really jive with the concept.

Were you to use it though, I really think it makes more sense if you go with your first idea. The yin-yang is about balance and harmony by taking your initials and placing them on top of the icon as a different color you seem to say you exist apart from the balance. I'm not sure if that's the message you want to send.
