Smaller size will look funny. Think of favicon size..is it recognizable? Large is fine - but in a banner? box? button? Thats how I evaluate proper sizing and recognition.
I like the orginal design. If you want some extra ideas there are websites where you can sponsor logo design contests. Worth1000.com is one. It might be useful to look into.
Yes. This is much more professional and sophisticated, but true to the original design. Not being critical of the logo's owner. Logodot may simply have more sophisticated graphics editing software or plugins. May I ask what programme you used to design this text? I prefer Macromedia myself. I don't particularly fancy Adobe -Photoshop etc. Best regards, -C.
