Social content platform branding - feedback wanted

I'm in the process of creating a new brand identity for a social platform. The idea behind the logo is to combine the social content aspect (hashtag) and the company name, which begins with an 'F'.

We are unsure which works better - having a gap/white space between the two elements, or not. Which do you think works best?

Would love to hear people's thoughts and opinions on this. Would be a huge help.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
The platform collects social content from a number of sources (often via hashtags) and displays it in one place, on a website, at events etc.
