hey whats up man. first off, welcome to the forum. i hope you find the comments and reviews helpfull. the people here are great.
anyway first of all. this is for a company?
here are some things to keep in mind. buisness cards, letter head, shirts, envalopes etc etc. the logo will probably need to be done in vector because it will need to be scaled small or large and it needs to still carry the same message either way.
also it will need to be able to read the same in black and white aswell as in color. the more detail that is in the logo, the harder it will be to read when shrunk down to maybe a buisness card size.
the peice above is pretty cool. although there really isnt to much to it as far as logo design.
is the logo "heaven's half pipe? or all of this in a whole.
here are some things i suggest.
bring all the elements of this design together, it is much to spaced out. it will look better tighter.
it is a very symetrical compasition. symatry these days tends to be boring.
Try not to rely on text that anybody could use. make it somthing intresting. plus the text should be much muich larger.
try not to use very detailed pictures because the detail will be lost once itis shrunk.
anyway i could go on.
i think your in the right direction as far as maybe making a poster or somthing but not for a logo that will be functional.
check out these books, it maybe be of some intrest.
