Thanks guys, is crazy how all this flows... But I always appreciate the random QBN critics. As it was mentioned before, the idea for destroy was because last night I found myself creating a clipart and not a logo... thanks for the input.

I find crit requests for logos like this amusing when seen in a place like this - more used to haughty, sterile, inhumane brands. So inevitably, the junior designers here share thoughts from beyond their station, offering the hapless effluete of their 'opinion', based on nothing more than an expectation that's been drilled into them by years of compliant servitude to the corporate machine.
Fuckit - do what you will. Ignore the naysayers here. Most, like me, haven't got a fucking clue.
Mind you, ali has a point - balance out the line weights - imagine what your logo will look like at 1" size. Same goes for the flat, uncontrasted colour scheme too.
Personally, I kinda dig it - I really like where you're going with the type - not my thing, exactly, but seems right on target for your demographic.

- by right for the demographic are you saying that kite surfers have bad taste?maikel
- I'm suggesting that your sense of taste isn't nearly quite so nearly shared by all as you want to believe.detritus

- don't take it personal boss. the guv said 'destroy'... not 'tell me your opinion about the demographics'maikel
- Good points!Salarrue

I like where you're going with it, and as Detritus has said it seems quite on target for the demographic.
Kite surfing/extreme sports brands like to stand out as an art piece and not a letterhead. With some work on it this could make a great piece to stick on a board or bumper sticker/decal thing.
I think the type doesn't stand out that well and you could tweak it and enlarge it so it fills more of the centre.
The 2 objects that are just line work without fill aren't even noticeable - Delete them and see what the "AKS" looks like if you make it big enough to fill that void.
Maybe try it with the AKS fitting snuggly inside the circular kind of shape of the whole logo, and then try and make it break out the sides and see how it looks.
It looks very surf, which is good.
When people say it won't work as a logo, I'd disagree, simply because the imagery that goes with the type of brand tends not to be a neatly trimmed, well aligned placement job. These logos are big and slapped on things and shout on top of the product rather than fitting neatly like a jigsaw piece.

Not a designer, but: the type in the middle reminds me some neo-nazi symbol.

I really have no idea what i'm looking at. This would not work as a logo.

Armonia means harmony, my idea was to illustrate the balance between air+water... what do you think...
