thanks for asking :-)

I think it's a bit light but basically okay, value-wise.  Lighter
wouldn't be so good.

But I think there might be some accessibility issues with the bold
g.n.o.m.e since it looks like something in the foreground.

As has been suggested later in the thread, I think slight texturing has
some advantages over big logos.  If you're going to have a big logo-ish
thing IMO it needs to be very subtle, i.e. less contrast than the
lettering in your (admittedly cool :-) example.

It's cool, but I am not sure it's the right default.
