I think the proportions work very well on this. I’m especially happy with the white space to the far left.
I wonder what it would look like if you had a variation where the text ran off the page (so you didn’t get the complete message). Though that wouldn’t be very De Stijl. I recently read something that discussed De Stijl in the context of all of the Netherlands’ canals and dikes. Apparently the Dutch like to say that God made the Earth, but the Dutch made Holland, emphasizing that almost all of their environment is man-made.
I think it’s also interesting that you added green to this. Apparently whether to include green with red, yellow, and blue was a big controversy in De Stijl. Some people literally left the group over the issue.
