its good. but for a logo you should go for the simple designs. logos are made to represent a business or something like that. people can just take one small glance at the logo and take it all in at once. if the logo is too techinical it will obviously take longer to memorise. so keep your logo simple and relate it to whatever your logo represents for. to help you, you can use other famous logos asa a guide to make your own one.

Well, without bashing your work, I'd have to say that a logo like that isn't terribly functional. Certainly it's stylish, colorful and shows technical prowess, but ask yourself what a logo is for.

The answer is a logo is your corporate identification. It communicates who you are and what you are about. It should be able to stand alone on any background (portability), be scaleable (compatibility) and work well alone or with a combination of other graphic elements.

Your logo should NOT be the most powerful image in a page. It should stand on it's own, but at the same time work with everything else around it to convey a strong sense of identity. Your logo would be difficult if not impossible to turn into a monochrome vector graphic. Let's say that down the road you want it on a vehicle. Impossible with what you've designed.

A good process for logo design that I have found is to start simple. Begin with black and white then add color as necessary. Solid shapes and colors translate well on any surface or background. They are easy to manipulate, and can be output in any number of formats for portability. Adding all the glows and backgrounds and whizzy drop shadows and blur effects etc. should be the LAST part of your design (after you have a solid logo), not your goal.

Given the tendency of users of modern image programs to "try out" all the bells and whistles, I caution strongly against invoking too many different effects. The end result does not justify the means and you risk subtracting from your image rather than enhancing it.

Certainly, it's good work you've done. Again though... I ask you... what is it you're trying to say? And... have you managed to say that with what you've produced?

Food for thought....

Cheers,
Phoenix

Well, it is kinda plain so its size. If you could add some stuff between the text, or make the text longer without ruining its quailty, that would be good. Otherwise, it is a pretty good logo. Make sure you use some green on your website or the logo will stand out.

Pardon me, there is not a logo.
It look like a masthead to me.

No offence.

its not too bad...id make it smaller (less empty space), but that depends on what you want to use it for

Hmm, besides all the previous pointers brought up about how a logo should be functional and simple, ways to improve your current logo:

1. You should probably either shorten the banner or put more inside, the "white" space on each of the two ends feel wasted, especially since it is only three letters. If you had spelled the letters out, or spaced them out more, or just added some more stuff at the ends, it would look much better. Either that or crop the banner so that it is not so wide.

2. The letters don't stand out. Not only in terms of the fact that the colour of the letters is too similar to the background colour, but the whole fact that the letters feel a little blurred loses the impact of the three letters. Maybe make the letters sharper and of a slightly more impactful colour?

It looks kinda like a banner to me. Logo itself must be something in combiantion with text and sign. Logo consists from "A sign" and "Text"... Sign can be anything you like, as loong as you can explain it's look an connect it with that what you represent. Text can be anything too - anything that explains what it stands for... if you know what I mean here... Anyway try to make that logo plain first, and In black&white. Then colorize it. It's easier that way. And you can make a 2 or 3 combination then put them here for a review. Keep like that...

I think it's good that you kept it clean and organized, which is a good starting point for all graphics, but i kinda thought that the letters look a bit fuzzy and i sure don't know what DWA stands for, so maybe add that info.? And also you might want to fill up the exterior space around it, or space the letters a little better.

I think it looks good as long as everything on your site will relate to it. LIke you've already heard, it is a little blurry...if that's what you want then cool.
