I think this helped with the legibility, making the B look more like a B by closing the gap in the bottom a bit and just improving the overall B shape :)

This looks great, the strokes have such a nice, dynamic feel to them. Agree with the comments + suggestions on legibility and I like where you're going with the revision. Another possibility could be to enlarge and adjust the top loop of the B slightly so that it's more prominent.

I would say no. I read F3. But I love the custom type.

I read FS first, but also F3
If you extend the backside of the B up more or even loop it around/behind the F

Thanks a lot guys!
I thought the F was gonna be the hardest to read :)
Since the B is connected with its stem and all.
I'll try that Sean! But with a slight fear that the F will get lost :)

F is noticeable first because we read top to bottom and left to right. Agreed about the F3 comment, but it's a beautiful mark. Keep at it!

Hm, I agree with the guys about F3. This combination can be read here too.

such nice flow. but yeah I saw F3 at first. but after I saw the "B" now that's all I see. I think you are so close. Love the look.

Thanks Claire! I did open up the top loop a bit in the revision, but might try some more! :)

Liking the style and flow a lot. Still major readability issue for me - »F3« or »Fz« is all I can see here.
