Refining my logo

    My final design works for me because the design is clean, simple, and sleek with a personal touch to it. It can go with a lot of shapes and colors. It's quite universal apart from pairing it with antique looks and symbols. However I looked at fonts and I personally prefer the Gotham light, Gotham thin, and BJ Book typefaces. Maybe with a different color such as a burgundy or Maroon could complement the modern look of the typeface. The King piece shape and Hexagon were the shapes I liked the most because I have a personal connection to the king piece apart from being a fond of chess myself. It's how I should and how I like to envision myself as "the king" the most important but most confined piece. It represents how you can only move/progress step by step without any shortcuts. You can be surrounded by other pieces (people in my life/journey) who are much different than you and have their own specialties/abilities but even so you have your own value, purpose, and distinctions from the rest. Especially that the king has the highest importance/value in a game of chess which I like to think of chess as a representation of life, my life. People can always walk/join/work with you in the personal road/journey you are walking in but no one can walk it for you. I am the most essential piece in my life and can only move step by step but in any direction I chose to move. The game never ends when your pawns, bishops, knights, or "queens" are taken from you. The Game ends when the "king" falls, when "I fall" but unlike a game of chess I can always get back up, even on my own when others may or may not be there. In terms of the hexagon shape, it's the round edges that give it a nice twist to it which are complemented by the gray outlines.
