Focus on the changes that matter. Keep what makes the logo work.

What to preserve

No obvious issue found
1

lettermark/symbol

2

lettermark/symbol

Adjust thickness or shape of the cup and letter to balance visual weight.

Medium priority Optional refinement Low effort

The coffee cup integration within the 'H' is visually effective, but the left bowl (from the 'C') appears heavier than the right, creating minor imbalance.
