    Look at it, and concentrate on the way your eyes move around the logo.

    My eye movements were very confused. I read left-right, then I looked at stars that are away both sides of the logo, then I wondered about the faint weak shadows, some of which are pink, around the logo.

    Then I got dizzy when my eyes were drawn to the orange star (but which one should I look at, the extreme right, or the extreme left?). My eyes were going back and forth and back and forth, comparing, but I couldn't decide.

    Then my sight settled on the bouncy letters, none of which are the same color, or angled the same, then once again, my brain puzzled over the crazy shadows... why is one shadow pink... why the rest gray... why so pale... why shadows in every direction?

    Some people will get epilectic seizures looking at this logo, and many will suffer from terrible migraines. I hope you have insurance.

    Phew! Am I glad you have a sense of humor!

    I wanted to make a point, that when you are doing anything visual, you have to stop, and analyse how your eyes "flow" over your handiwork.

    Once, I made a big, long, horizontal painting.

    Picture this.

    Lime green background.

    On the left, a chinese lady dressed in mauve/purple, holding a small bird cage.

    On the right, a bright red bird flying out of the cage, bright, brigh red.

    So...

    When your head was turned to the left, looking at the larger element, the lady with the soft colors, in your peripheral vision, there was the red bird, so your eyes were "forced" to the red bird.

    And when your eyes were on the red bird, the lady beckoned in the peripheral vision, because she was large and complex.

    Thus, your eyes could never rest on the bird or the lady long enough to LOOK. The microsecond you looked at one element, you were pulled to the other.

    I repainted the bird in black. I had to wear an eyepatch, it was impossible to aim at the painting with the brush without it!

    I don't have the original painting... this should give you an idea of why your eye movements are important.

    It's very simple (too simple) and it's not my style.
    I would give it 4/10. But other ppl propably like it better ;).
    It also has too many colors it's too big. You better something that looks good at 100px by 100px. So ppl can/will use it as an avatar.

    I would say just the same. It is not my style but that's not the reason why I can't possibly give it any more than 4/10. It is too big, looks a bit childish to me, doesn't have that "professional" look. At least this is my opinion and please, don't get discouraged, but inspired to get it better.

    I licensed the logo for my startup, Smush! (a family friendly internet destinations business)

    I think it worked well for the purpose

    Don't take it offensive, exponent, but somewhat to me, your logo looks disturbingly colorful and childish. If this is the idea - ok, if not - I think it just won't suit.:rolleyes:
