Zef wrote I'm guessing the main reason you got so many downvotes is because the style in which you decided to do is not only the most basic but also the most overplayed. Everyone and their mother has made something like this. Modern does not mean minimal effort, modern can be quite complex and does not require that much dead space. As far as making this better I would add more content maybe a soft texture or a geometric feel.

This is true.
I know the image Zef used for his piece and the final outcome looks complex, but in all honesty, it isnt (again no offence intended) Its clever geometry and Hue/Saturation usage (at a guess).
