What to fix first

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

1

Explore greater integration between the 'lnw' abbreviation and the round mark for increased cohesion.

Medium priority Medium effort

Current layout reads as segmented rather than a fully integrated mark.

Would enhance visual unity and lessen initial separation of elements.

2

Refine the abbreviation ('lnw') for maximum single-glance recognition, maintaining corporate clarity.

Medium priority Medium effort

Current stylization is strong but invites initial ambiguity.

Improves instant brand recall for formal and investor materials, avoids misreading at a glance.
