It seems a little big to be used as a logo. But it does look really cool. The text isn't too visible though. Maybe make the text white with a glow around it?

i know it's a little big, but if we use it i will change the size... this is just the size i made it in....

i know you can't see the text so well....
i will try to make it more visible.

i will see how it loks with a glow around...

thanks for the tip

Eh.. I don't like it. For starters I think it is too big. If your going to base the whole image on the lightning type effects I would try to make it look a little better than using dodge/burn. I can barely make out the lettering. Plus I wouldn't consider this a logo.. more like a splash page or something. I usually go by the rule that if you can't draw it in the sand then its not a good logo. Sorry, if this is harsh.. its just my opinion.

As soon as I read its a logo I knew there'd be some electricity effects in it.

Heh - nice work though just make the lettering a little more visible.

w00p

It wasn't a loggo or splash from the beggining, but it lookes a little better then it was fr�m the beggining...

and i wan't use it....
I just thought it looked cool just for being made with the dodge/burn tool....but i only used the dodge....

well.....
maybe a will put up the finished pic of the original some time....
when it lookes good..

you shouldn't have to strain to see what the letters in a logo say. if it's a true logo, the whole point of it is to create instant recognition of whatever it is you're trying to "sell." like Chapel said, most logos are/should be simple enough to easily replicate (think about printing that logo on business cards or t-shirts...not gonna happen). it looks cool, but definitely not a logo.

does anyone read my posts here???

in everyone (i think) i have said that it's not realy a loggo... i just wrote the text to see how it looked....
Then everything was much more nicer then the original.... Except the text...

So the text isn't going to be there and i'm not going to use it as a loggo..

It's just that you can't make the text stronger..... Not since the layer with the text is over the layer where the "energy" beams are.... I made the beams with the dodge tool and that hole layer is dark blue, so if you lay the layer with the text under you can't see the text....

did you get that????
