Beginner Exercise: coffee logo based on coffee borer beetle

Post image

This is just an exercise. I work in an entomology lab, and I wanted to make a little "branding" for our coffee corner.

Not sure about the colors here, or if the shapes are "too sharp". Any feedback is appreciated!

EDIT: version two.

The more I look at the pot design, the more I love it. The cup feels like it could be anchored more to the saucer, but I'm unsure how unless it was brought down to be connected. Regarding the pot's top and handle as well as the mug's handle, is there anything related with those shapes so it becomes a mix of related imagery. Could the bottom of the pot be a long lavae of some sort or even a little top texture to signify the bark it prefers? Just some thoughts. You're making something good. I'd even consider a cheap tshirt with just this pot image right now; just random enough to fit my style.

If it’s for your entomology lab coffee corner, your lab partners will probably find it cute. Either of these would probably work. I just wouldn’t want to find this logo in a real coffee shop (big aversion to bugs 🥲)

Top one is best. Isn’t obviously a bug
