New MMBN:Chrono X Logo!

This past week I was working on a redo of the logo for the fangame Megaman Battle Network Chrono X. I had made a logo for the active project before but after seeing it recently, I was inspired to try a new take on it.
I think it came out great. Overall legibility has vastly improved. It's much more balanced. The colors are also simpler. The developers of the game loved it so it's official now.
I am impressed at myself by how well it turned out and that I made it entirely in Adobe Illustrator. Yes, it was time-consuming but it's clearly the most skilled design I've made in Illustrator to date. In fact, the only thing I don't like about it is how the emblem shape turned out. In an effort to salvage the old design, I didn't rotate the mildly abstract shapes protruding from the emblem. This makes the circle feel kind of imbalanced and the shapes awkwardly head-on. If I didn't work so hard on the shiny emblem, I would redo that part with more complex shapes and proper perspective.
Overall, I like this logo and I hope the fan game will finish soon. They've gotten really far, apparently.

Dunno. Haven't actually tried it.

Nice design, what font did you use for the battle network?

It's Akzidenz Grotesk. I really like it for its K and overall strong letters. I couldn't find a bolder one though.
