COSM, new logo ( just a thought :)

Before I start designing let me decide the rules to design the logo

Some of the generic rule ( which I believe are more important) for logo design.

• it should be hand drawable 
• Keeping it Simple
• Do not use multi-color (meaning no color transitions and shading, but can have more colors )
• Should look good in B&W
• Pattern should be easily recognizable
