I happen to agree with Beta's comment (in another branch of this
growing tree) that the logo should be as simple as possible in order to
work well at various sizes and resolutions. So while the "mechanical
rooster" looks nice, I'm not sure it's a good choice as a "brand logo".
Just look at the level of detail in modern (high-value) brands.

Best,
Christian
