It depends what kind of gradient you use and where. The issue with logos is that it's also a lot fo times just taste and you just need to nail the likes of the client.

I didn't want to make the gradient too soft, and I need the logo to pop out a bit. I think Agoras needs to make a statement, and so does it's logo. So maybe in this case, we do want the brain to think.

Thanks for stopping by :D
