Opinion on the icon of the logo please :)

Question

I am rebranding my personal work. I used to work with the name of Miss Graphics but was suggested that its too generic. I have now come up with a new concept. I would like to show Dolphin to represent Harmony in design and friendliness while incorporating the concept of graphics and design. I am presenting this brand as a solution oriented Boutique design studio.

So Dolphix is : Dolphin + Graphics + Fix

I would love to know what you think of the icon. Whether it is aesthetically pleasing and if it makes sense for the brand. Thank you.

Edit:

After reading your comments I decided to make edges of the font less sharp to match the Icon D so it goes better together. Also, I have adjusted position of the D so that hopefully it reads more like "Dolphix" and not "Olphix" as some of you pointed out. I have made two variants and I am hoping I can use both as variations depending on where I am placing it. I would love to know if the placement of the icon in the first one below reads as "D" and hence "Dolphix" now. Thank you :)

Answer 1

Your name says dolphin, but your logo, and particular your icon doesn’t say dolphin. I know there is a tiny fin and waves, but this is more whispering dolphin than saying it. Here are two quick sketches of how you could scream dolphin (if that’s what you want):

Another advantage is that it reads more like a D and thus makes your entire name more readable.

This connects to another problem (which is not exactly what you asked), namely that the typeface you use for olphix is not really matching your D. One simple thing that you could do (when keeping the logo as it is) is to fill the counters of the O and P:

Another problem with the olphix typeface is that it does not match the organic, wavy topic of the logo: It has sharp corners (as far as I can see) and emphasises on perfect circles and straight lines.

If you use your icon as a letter, I suggest to first finish the icon and then let it inform the typeface for the olphix.

Answer 2

It's olphix + a shape in front of it. Let your name be visible as a whole. It's very difficult to mix an icon and a letter as one symbol without generating reading errors. You haven't succeeded.

It's much easier to write Dolphix and insert a separate icon.

Another thing: It somehow resembles a text in a medicine or food supplement package, like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j9tp8msgejy9eyg/Olphix%20Cream.psd?dl=0. I believe something less sterile is welcome. An example with separate icon:

Not asked: name Dolphix (and Olphix) is already used, as you can easily find. You are in a danger to collect troubles, if you use it without careful research is it free where you live. If it isn't, do not use it without a written and signed clearance by the owner.

Circle near getting closed: Ten days ago you started with an unique shape. Unfortunately it wasn't easily readable as you wanted then. I saw it as a dog shape and suggested you to have a name which fits. It was this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bqoxxzgsf1spgz7/BasseGr.jpg?dl=0 Site cleankeeping pushed the discussion into chat, because it had too much writing. But now you are near the same idea: a friendly animal. Rethink, if you can use your original shape. Or draw something even less formal and sterile with dolphins. One example:
