Hey guys,
I started to make a logo for a brand I'm going to make for fun with my friends, see if it works out
After a while when people tell us (for example) where we have that tshirt from cuz it's nice, we would like start to sell them to friends and maybe later go bigger
Anyways I'm stuck with the logo, I finished the H and the U but I don't have inspiration atm so not sure what to do with the L and the U (last ones)
Does anyone have a good idea to finish it up nice as possible?
GIve me some advice in the comments

Quick question: Isn't "HULU" already a brand name? One that hosts U.S. TV shows/Movies?
Also, the L and the U can inherit the style of the H. The fin on the H is an interesting touch, but maybe add more primitive shapes together to make it more intricate. Put the fin on the last U (either on it's left or right), that way you can balance the image out a bit. Aligning the baseline (bottom of the letters) of the two U's might also be an idea. It'll give your eyes some repeating pattern to follow as you read the word. (If the imbalance of the U's
right side seems out of place, stretch it up to match the height of the top of the H, that way you can maintain a happy balance in the Cap height (Top of the letters).
In terms of texturing the text, perhaps look at getting a brush that's a grid, and place it over the text? Give it an even more blocky. Adding lines below the text can also help emphasize certain parts and draw attention away from others. Maybe Three lines, each decreasing in legnth, but they stack up, forming a shield/wing like shape. (Really "out-there idea" , I know, but think in terms similar
- you might just surprise yourself with what you'll get haha) Remember that the average person will read a logo and subconsciously try to follow some form of line.
Alternatively, depending on what direction you're taking the company, you could play around with the U floating off in the distance. adding background images/colour could help too. The U actually feels somewhat comfortable the way it is, but if you were going for a relatively serious business, then yeah, you'd have to keep the logo tight-knit.
