Any suggestions on this logo??

We are building a new site for my son and put together this logo last night. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Good luck with your new site
Your idea is very good, I like it. Unfortunately, it is hard to call it a logo, it is more like a graphic composition. I think with a professionel touch, it should be a very nice logo using that clever idea. But if you don't have much expectations, you can still use it as it is, nice logo.

Best,

A quick advice: when you're going to use something as a logo - always check out its readability at various scales. Try reducing this to, say, 20 or 30% of its size and see if you can still read the "fine print"

If on the reduced image you cannot see some details that are essential, the thing is bad designed. If some details can't be seened but don't affect much the image - they are redundant and you can just get rid of them.

In this particular case:
- the "fine print" will definitely disappear
- the smoke will, too
- and so will the details of the skater.

How to proceed?
Resume things. Get rid of those that are redundant, make bigger those that are too small (you can probably change their position in the design in order to do this).

Good luck!
Cheers!

I like the idea. If it is only for web use, kid site, non-profit. Try it, you are not trying to brand it or use it on business cards.
