Personally it just looks too sharp and "undefined"
I think that your design would be really cool if you replaced all the angles with curves.

I think its a great start, my suggestions would be to remove those very fine lines, they will never reproduce well small. Also playing off of what Elite said I would either go all pointed edges or all rounded and see how it looks.

Colors work for me! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments. I understand what you mean by the lines and all. I kind of like how the rounded turned out, has a fine art feel to it. So here is the rounded and sharp cornered designs.

Hmm this is a tough one...I think I like the sharp one better, but lets see what some other people think.

I think they both work, yet they are very different, and tells very different things. I think it's impossible for us to say which is better, because we know very little of "BAA". I think they both works and the decision has to made by you/the client on which best repreents the company.

Also, if you got the time and possibility, you should try making a mix, maybe the contrast between the curves and the sharp angles will give your logo a whole new dimension? It could look horrible too, but you'll never know unless you try!

I understand what you mean by you dont know what baa is all about. I have a Fine Art background, so the rounded one works and everything, it kind of looks like it was painted or something of that nature. thanks for the input. I need someone else to help me out. Thanks all.

I think like "alyCe" said you should try to make combination of both. For exemple an angled "b" and an rounded "a" so it will look maybe better try that. I like more the rounded one it seams that the "a" is not that well with edges.

I think the rounded one is spot on. To me it says fine art and graphic design at the same time. I would remove the "dot" to the left of the B though and put it in the little space in the A in the same way as you did with the B.
