Octoser - logo design

I don't normally post my "serious" work here, it is usually on [link] This is a special occasion, this design got rejected for sale, because it was not "serious" enough and too graphical and illustrative, therefore unfit to be sold at [link]

So here it is all alone and waiting for a redesign, I thought maybe you would like to see it before I dismantle it and start again on the concept.
