I offer this perspective as someone who is only willing to work remotely because I have significant sensory sensitivities, because I suspect there are many other people like me: The colors in your logo clash so badly/scream so loudly they're physically painful for me to look at, even for a second. It's the first time I can remember ever yanking my phone away from my eyes because of how jarring a logo was.
There's a good chance this is not an issue for people who just have a preference for working remotely, and so might not be worth considering if they're your target market. But for those of us who might come across your site because we depend on remote work for gainful employment, it's so bad as to be exceptional.
- dmos62 6y agoThat's an interesting ailment. Have you tried Dark Reader? It has modes where it can desaturate everything on the web page. If you're on Windows, you can apply filters to your display output. f.lux has those. I used to use grayscale mode. Sometimes you have to turn colors off to realise just how distracting they can be.
- em-bee 6y agoi guess it's inspired by google's logo. but for reasons that i can't explain, the google logo screams less than this one.
- MaxCool 6y agoI guess it could be because of the brighter yellow of the last e. Will try to fix it.
- em-bee 6y agoi think it's more than that. google logo only has four colors. though you probably don't want to copy the google colors exactly. i'd research some sensible color schemes. there are design tutorials about that.

- MaxCool 6y agoThanks for your feedback. I am sorry if the logo hurt your eyes physically. Will try to see how the logo can be adjusted to make it appear less painful. I guess the colors are brighter which may have made it feel that way.
- csdreamer7 6y agoI also have significant sensory sensitivities (due to Autism). Feel free to check my profile for my email if you want to get in touch.
- andrei_says_ 6y agoI also got a little nauseous by glimpsing at the logo :)
- MaxCool 6y agoThanks for the feedback. The logo has been modified as per suggestions in the comment.
