It's a nice concept but the use of the mu club all scattered like that really confuses the eye a bit but preserves a nice style and is still readable. The use of color to highlight the art is really clever. Great use of kerning to create a box shape and overall makes it concise and in harmony.

The use of tools to represent each letter is a great way to impose the technological look and   theme of the message. Pretty nice centered alignment. Suspecting by the form of these serifs, I could conclude that it might be part of the Trajan Pro Typeface. It doesn't have much problem with readability but, the effect of the background might confuse the eye a little.

The emphasis is put upon the EM & the EE which make it really difficult to read and breaks the connection of the word. It has no sense if it is read from far distance. The eye goes through ploy and only at last making it more confusing. The little man inside the 'o' does not help at all and makes it even more confusing.

The selection of color is not really drastic. There is poor readability because of the lighter font used in the background which interferes with the eye. A small stroke will help on readability and it will also give it the sense of attention and highlight it needs. The leading in the title is good but it would have a bigger impact if it was much smaller.
