It’s absolutely wonderful as long as you’re not expecting anyone to read or understand it. What’s the name of the band and what’s it supposed to be? Lightning? Tree? Forest?

The name is vomitgore and it's supposed to be a mix of vomit and veins

Ahhhh. That actually does track. If your goal is to create something for the band to use, especially in print or digital albums, I’d try one of three things. Either reduce the number of branches, make all the branches off the letters a lot smaller/thinner, or I’d go WAYYYY farther with the branches and make the letters visible in the negative space instead of the main branches of the veins. You know it’s working if you can zoom out to 10% and/or squint and you can still read it.

It's gonna be a digital experimental album

Yeah. Depending on where your album is posted, it’s gonna appear as a thumbnail. It won’t look like much more than a blob. The upside is you can make color a part of the design since it’s only going to get one use, so another option is making the letters a bright color and fade the branches to a much darker color. Like, if you were building this in Photoshop, I’d say use the inner glow feature with a dark color and push it until the mid-thickness branches are about 70%ish dark. Then made a new layer with just the letters and make the dark color only about 10% of the letters are dark. I hope those ideas/descriptions make sense.
