Maybe not. It had me in fits of giggles. "I just looked down and there he was".
I know that since the "History Man" we all know more than we need to know about the private lives of academics but maybe this is just giving them a little too much encouragement (hi Rheuby)!

The local tertiary institution in my neck of the woods is known as the EITThe rival university in Dublin is University College Dublin (founded by John Henry Newman) or UCD. We regularly come up with unflattering terms for their acronym. One of the (cleaner) ones is Universal Crowd of DuncesTrinity College Dublin (my esteemed employers) is usually foreshortened to TCD. Try mucking about with that one!!!

I love your suCCEss one, but I'd just go with the single word "SUCCESS" with the CCE in a different color or font. The International Herald Tribune (thanks, Anna) newspaper (known as the IHT) used to have a great banner ad on their website: it was the word "THINK" written in mirror writing with the IHT in a different color (they also don't appear backwards, like the N and K do). The word then disappeared and was replaced with something like "think in a new direction with the IHT." One of the cleverest ads I've ever seen.

ACCEPT it. Without CCE, you're just APT.Accept it, Fiberbabe, no more, no less...well, if you wanted to soften it a bit you might say... "Without cce you are merely apt."Ether way it is  without being too much so.

Or perhaps ....
SUCCESS. Without CCE you're merely SUSS.
Success has that nice symmetry that logo designers love to play with too.

Very clever, indeed, but ain't that the International Herald Tribune?
