Still working on this logo... The design I showed my client only had part of the name in this style because the name is a junction of 2 words, and so I thought it would be interesting to play with that a bit and use a different styling for both 'words', but the client found the difference between the 2 a bit too obvious and wanted to see how things look if this curvy style was executed on the entire name. The 'e' was a challenge. As for the letter 't', it seems to me the curved one fits in best the way I showed before, because all the other letters only have curves.
Beautiful work Veerle - I recently designed a similar logo with faux-ribbon graduated curves - it took a while to get exactly right but it was worth the effort.
Hrm... honestly, I don't really like it. The harsh lines within the letters make it feel like those are sharp edges. Additionally, there's no consistent light source, which may be what is so "intriguing" about it to others. I just find it a bit unpolished as is. A few small tweaks and I could be on the other side of the fence.
The light source seems to be pretty consistent to me. It looks like maybe the twisting/contorting of the letters gives the feel of inconsistent lighting or I'm just bass ackwards
@Chris Wallace I want to add something about the light source… not sure if you are just referring to the letter 'e' or to the entire image, but the letter to the right that you only partially see has been tweaked since its highlight and shadow is incorrect (inconsistent with the rest). I was still in the middle of things when I took this screenshot. As for the hard edges, that's something you either like or hate I guess, I do like them and I think I wouldn't like it that much if they were soft. But that's just personal choice of course.

That looks brilliant! Can we see the rest of the letters? or is it under wraps still?

Oh wow! Thanks people. I didn't expect this :) I guess I'm on the right track then. Fingers crossed.
@Ian Storm Taylor yes, under wraps I'm afraid, not sure I can reveal all of it.

The 'e' has collapsed my brain. Such a paradox stair.

Very interesting and beautiful, but at times it almost feels a little challenging to look at, if you know what I mean.
