Ok my suggestions would be to add that same diagonal cut to the top of the c as there is on the bottom so it looks more like a C. I would also zoom in close to make sure the edges are flush on the top and bottom because right now thee B is a little higher up then the C.

I would also like to see a more normal/classical font for cb designs under the logo.

I agree with what Gino said.

The C is a bit difficult to make out with it running behind the b because you don't see the diagonal cut in the letters. For the actual written version of your name, I think that it might benefit you to make the i the same height as the rest of the letters. It just seems out of place to me.

Otherwise it is a pretty nice logo.

first of all, I don't know what kind of design "bcdesignz" do, if you're making signatures or forum styles or something like that then nevermind what I'm about to say, but if you plan on carrying this identity into a moneymaking design buseniss then I would drop the Z. People with money hire people who do design. People under the age of 14 wants cool designz. It's not cyberistic or avant-garde, it's just a bit unserious. But I don't know, maybe that's what you are going for

On one hand it's very hard to criticize a logo because we don't know what you (I take it you are cbdesignz) want to say with your logo, are you going to do very sharp, hard work with a futuristic look? Because your logo is very... "limiting", you put yourself in a niche (which of course does not have to be a bad ting), but you should at least be aware that you're doing so, and if you want your logo to say that you are a versitile designer then you need to adress some issues with your logo.

my 0.02$ at least

I totally agree with alyCe. lose the Z...
also, I'd still back up Gino's comment that you should make the diagonal cut on the top part of the C, so it's the same as the bottom part and the C in the text below your logo.

in general, i'm not very fond of it. i just doesn't have much going for it, in my very humble opinion.

don't let me stop you though, keep working and keep sketching. if you're happy with it, then that's that.

when i read it for the first time, i kind of read it "cbd - esignz". Maybe just me, but could ue something to dfferientiate the two words, like a color change, or bolder text etc...

But thanks for the comments!
