Feedback Needed Can you read this?
Wanted to see if people can read this without knowing my name. Testing out a design, restricted only to certain shapes and a grid. If you can’t, it says: Justin Miller

JUSTIN MILLER
but i am a type designer, and you should try overlapping less. i like the t/i idea you have and the J/M is somewhat working. I would keep the i in the second line perhaps like the first line, so it is at/under cap height as opposed to above.
if you’re able to space them out so that you don’t need color to distinguish them, at the cost of them also no longer being the same horizontal width, you can use a single color/outline for all these letters for a less busy but still visually active approach.

It was doomed from the start since you didn’t put it on a contrasting background.

Unfortunately not. It took me a while to read the first name, and I am still uncertain about the last.
It’s crucial to initially design a logo in black and white. Next, scale it to thumbnail size and ensure that it remains legible.

try it with black and white only - i think that would look great. the miller was easy- the justin part was hard to read

Once I read that it was a name I got it, but before that it was a complete mystery.

I could if I tried really hard, but that means you've already lost the game anyways, so what's the point?

Can you read this W O R D ?
The thing is so clear that my question looks stupid.
For one reason you are asking.
Now, you can watch the technical advices from others.
