NEED ADVICE - College Coursework: Custom Typography

Hey guys, thanks for the help again, finally got the thing almost finished,took me 25 minutes per letter, don't think I'm going to touch illustator again. :p

Below is the penultimate version(I'm aware need to redo the 'B'), the thing is going to be printed as an A2 poster, I just want to spend an hour or so tweaking it tonight, before I do so I was wondering what you guys think needs tweaking?
Should I add a background? What colour?
How should I arrange the letters? They still need a bit of adjustment, do you guys think the current order is alright?
Anything else?

Everything you guys tell me is great, thanks in advance.

Many of them has too harsh shading, the C, M, S and V are best imo, use the same shading on the rest.

For BG, go subtle and clean, light gray with a hint of turquoise, the pipes is your focus.

Make the order more even and symmetric tho.

I must say you did a outstanding job. Hit the final version up on dA and I'll fav it for sure.

ps... You forgot Å Ä Ö, hehe.

Haha.

Pleased to say it's all done and printed off!
Cheers for the advice, took me a few days to reply because I've been working on finishing other parts of the project.

I switched up the shading to stuff much lighter and added a grey/turquoise background and used the metal texture as an overlay.

Here's the dA if you want to see it full size: http://achroitegraphics.deviantart.c...=1&ga_recent=1
