when that logo has to be reproduced at a small size, you will find it hard to read the type.
consider enlarging the type to the width of the book
i dont mind the logo as a starting point, i think it may work.
it could be taken as a book/book leaves AND two speech bubbles (which ever way up you see it) which could be a good thing considering what its for.

looks solid. be careful of that type size though, reproduction at a small size will make the counters fill in. my advice is to reduce it down to about the size of a pen barrel, if you cant still read the letters then it's gone wrong.

Nice Start - I would bump up the font size, and look at turning the curves on the outside down as opposed to up (more of a softer/ book like look).
Since it's on topic I recently made a Publisher logo that incorporated a book icon - http://www.inseptember.com/work/…

Not convinced on the 'horns'. They seem to confuse the shapes beyond looking book-like. The type looks a bit stuck on, maybe integrate it more with the shapes?
Also, bear in mind that the logo will appear smaller than what you've presented. Be careful that the text doesn't become unreadable.

bump up the font size
choose a better font
shrink the book
the book itself... its your stylistic call,
it does seem a bit to horny
hahah
im funny

I'd lose the "horns"
but... it may be interesting if you can make the pages appear to be "db" - as in "Decko Books"
Just a thought.
Also, I would definately use a much less bold and round typeface (and lines in general). You must consider that this books are usually printed on thin, coarse stock that makes the ink bleed a lot, when printed. Something thinner, that allows compensation for the ink gain would be wise.

where's the edge?
books are edgy too..

stop using the word "EDGY" you creature
your logo needs work and is far from being acceptable

this was the first time I used "edgy" and now I should already stop..... ?
yeah okay

This will come off as an unpopular statement, but the font's not that bad considering that it has some geometric consistency with the glyph.
The problem as I see it is that malking the logotype larger won't solve anything from an identity standpoint. Yes, it needs to be larger for technical reproduction reasons, but the glyph and logotype want to be integrated a little more to form a consistent shape to make it a combination logo. Otherwise, the two logos are modular pieces that simply coexist. The danger is that the company could potentially use one or the other depending on the situation, and this would hurt any consistency and brand recognition.
Or maybe I'm just too married to Swiss/New York style theory. Interpret as you will. Nice work so far, brotha.

I reckon you've done a good job. I like the typeface, but it does need some adjusting as far as icon to type size goes, also worth thinning it down slightly for covering ink bleed when printed on uncoated mash. Also would have the space between your pages aligning with the space between the 2 words..... nice job

There is a food (meat) company here in Toronto with a logo very similar to yours. I think you need to make the book less pointy (kinda looks like cow horns).
I will try to find the logo, I am talking about.
