What to fix first
Focus on the changes that matter. Keep what makes the logo work.
Redesign the monogram for improved legibility and less letter overlap—keep Greek character inspiration but prioritize quick readability.
Difficult to read immediately, may harm brand recognition and trust.
Major
Adjust proportional relationship between monogram and wordmark to achieve better overall balance and reduce visual density of top mark.
Top-heavy stack can appear awkward and crowd the design.

Logo performance breakdown
—Not scored
Brief & logo match
Greek monogram alludes to tradition and substance, and the palette fits a premium, natural health product. The lack of clarity in the logomark might hinder trust or memorability for a medical or premium oil product.
Legibility
- The 'PHAOS' wordmark at the bottom is clear.
- Stacked monogram above is difficult to read and interpret quickly.
- Overlapping shapes reduce textual clarity.
Originality
- Distinctive use of Greek-inspired typography and vertical arrangement.
- Visual complexity may resemble generic academic/Greek motifs.
Color harmony
- Olive green and black palette is well-balanced, premium and pharmaceutical appropriate.

Misinterpretations
