I've been working on this R and found a name that works well with it (to me at least).
I drew the R while I was flying to NM and thought it was unique looking and tryed to develope it into a brand or wil use it when ever the opportunity comes up.
So don't hold back let me know what you think - good bad or indifferent.
product placement. lol

The good
1.) Looks genuinely original
2.) Playful, yet has an elegant feel to it
3.) Abstract, yet noticeably an "R" (At it's current angle)
4.) Clean, yet has personality
The bad
1.) At a different angle it can be confused with a "P" (as mentioned by another member)
2.) Limited to very niche market type companies
Niche markets that come to mind
1.) Goth / Vampirical
2.) Medieval / Renaissance
3.) Hair salon
4.) Clothing line
5.) Hotel chain
6.) Photographer / designer
7.) Restaurant
Footnotes:
Overall I really like the design as a whole & think that it would be a great original brand / trademark for a company.
Good work

Also I would like to see the Logo type "R" replace the text blow the Logo and see how it looks. That could be another option in designing the "R" to see how it fits.

Some people see the R right off, but most see a P (means i've failed LOL). I've tried a few options on making the r more distictive but it took away from the overall look of it. I'll have to give it another go and see what I can do to better it. perhaps I've tried to force a vertical piece for the left pilar, I just need to let it flow..
Thanks again for the comments.

You need to work on the name (doesn't match), and the typeface, that may give you a lot of... recherche...

I definitely love fine typography and you may be onto something cool here.
However, the rounded shape on the top left of the letter makes this look like the letter "P" instead of an "R" . If you worked to square off the top left elements of your design it would soon become an "R"....
Think 180º for the top left and keep up the creative work! :-)
Cheers,

You've got a good mark in your hands, very original and distinctive.

I'll work on finding or making a type that works better.
I thought I had a good name:( but I can try and come up with something new as well. There are quite a few R words.
RECHERCHE - pernounced - ruh-shair-shey; ruh-sher-shey
1. sought out with care.
2. very rare, exotic, or choice; arcane; obscure.
3. of studied refinement or elegance; precious; affected; pretentious.

I see what your saying. it may also open up the image to include the vertical pillar if needed.
looks like I have some things to work on
Thanks Paulo and Brett.

I really like it! The angle is far too far across for it to be a P imo, it's just the lack of the pillar that makes people a little confused. I don't think it'd take away from the style if there was a small vertical swirl where the pillar should be, and it could help people see it as an R.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I've been doodling "pillars" since this morning (on and off) and nothing fits or anythign I liked. OOHhh just had one of thos "ding" moments with an idea.
appreciate it. LOL

Try to use a R that you really like an us it a a model to refine the curve.
You have an strong symbol I wouldn't use dose typo for the name, it's just to much you have to compensate there.
