Background contrast
Find the surfaces where your logo stays clear.
Estimated contrast—
Compare the mark and lettering on each surface.
Shows the lower-contrast areas of the logo (5th percentile). Tiny details may have lower contrast. Good ≥ 4.5:1 · Medium ≥ 3:1 · Bad < 3:1. A visual guide, not an accessibility rating.
Blur & silhouette
A 3px blur softens fine details so you can check whether the overall shape stays recognizable. If key gaps close or elements merge, the logo may rely too heavily on detail.
Look for clear separation between shapes and a distinctive outline.
Market fit
Category positioning
Well positioned in upscale dining sector, with distinctive but category-relevant concept.
Sophisticated integration of symbol and letter works for high-end restaurants, though hand-glass motif is not wholly unique in hospitality.
