Clever! My only crit would be that I think the first A in "Diamond" takes a little away from the stacked A & M as it too lacks a crossbar. Have you tried it with the crossbar intact?
I really like the idea and the whole “shaky” effect. Not sure about the cropped “DIAMOND” though. Feels like it isn’t obvious enough, so my first reaction is to wonder if it’s a mistake or not. Can you perhaps achieve the same effect without shaving off the tops of those letters? :)
@Joni I have actually been thinking that but wanted to see if anyone felt the same way. It's probably detracting more than it's adding anything to the design so I think I'll remove it. Thanks for your feedback!
I really like the idea, and the general hand drawn look you're looking for, but I don't think the top of "DIAMOND" should be cropped like that. Also, maybe try out having a full "A" for "DIAMOND" as well, might be pretty nice.

@Ryan Thanks! Would love to know what parts need work specifically.
@Paul Yes, I am going to try it out with no crop on diamond and the full A - will post an update soon. Thanks for your feedback!

Removed the crop from the top of 'Diamond' and added in the crossbar on the A, which I think works.
Thanks all for your feedback! Please feel free to comment with anything else that might help strengthen the design.
