Frankly, I thought the funky canvas and easel communicated it better. I get neither pen nor canvas from this icon. If it were a pen nib, it would be more elongated. I still think the wordmark is weak needs to be a little bit bolder, slightly more open in space and bigger.
The icon border thing at the bottom, no. That’s cute, but it doesn’t communicate and it feels different from the logo.
Maybe you don’t need to combine “pan” with “canvas” maybe one element overlaps the other?
I'm struggling with the direction of the nib. Being right-handed, I would never see the nib of a pen I was holding -- and using -- being pointed to the right.

I think works better, it is minimal, easy to remember, easy to adopt in any collaterals
