i think you can take this a step higher - i can almost see the mounds on the 'm' as roof tops with a chimney on the left - maybe you can play with that some. what do you think? otherwise a well done concept!
Nice use of negative space. I originally saw the boxes as robots, which made me read the name as "mailbots".

This concept is overused imo... I recently saw this with two icecreams instead of mailboxes on here and i've seen several others. Perhaps it is just me, but i am not liking it. it is very close to the one Houston-we linked to.
Use of negative space is common and even more so when they are letters like M, O and others. I agree it is over done - but for the concept to get across depends on how well it is executed in terms of style and treatment of the individual designer.
I never said I didn't want criticism. Hence the green flag. I just don't agree with what Houston said. Sure, it may be similar to another logo, but, I completely disagree that the readability is poor.
I think what this logo has going for it more than the mushroom logo is that this one actually works as a slab-serif aswell and the whitespace symbols are a bonus.
I prefer the one you have on Stack with 'Mailbox' written underneath. :)
