    flint,

    I think the STW needs some refinment. The first vertical stroke of the W appears to have an angle that is perceptible viewing at full-size.

    The icon itself also needs some work. The shape that is being made from the crop in the top right corner feels a bit out of place while the bottom left feels a little clunky and uneven because of the slight inward-angle.

    The tweaking you're doing to the letterforms does not feel all that appropriate to me either. Perhaps you could take some characteristics of the icon (ie: pinched caps, reverse rounded out corners) and apply them to the STW as opposed to using what appear to be trivial stylistic tendencies. Think of a specific quality you want the letterforms to communicate. Also, the middle of the S is a bit thin. Optically you may want to keep it slightly thinner but since you appear to be trying to maintain some level of consistency throughout the STW you may want to consider beefing it up.

    And lastly the chiptuning all but gets lost at a small size. Perhaps making the weight a bit more significant would help legibility.
