Thank you very much for your time, you opinions really matter to me. I've made all the changes you've suggested. As for the font, I'm still search for the suitable free font. I have attached what I've reached so far and it's live on the site. Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thank you all again
Stay clear of gradients and effects. The best logos are simple, because the more simple they look, the easier they are to remember.
Hmm.. that sounds a lot like why hollywood told arnold schwarzenegger to change his name, it was too long and complicated... but he thought that a long complicated name would be harder to forget... and not only is he a mega-movie star now, he's also a governor not sure how much the same concepts would apply to logos... but your post reminded me of the name thing...
I will go with simplicity too. btw, the winner is THE SECOND ONE, score: 38 votes to 1 Any ideas to make the second logo even better are most welcome though.
