Honestly speaking, it doesn't look good. It looks very unprofessional IMO. I hope you can do better than this one.

Thanks for the first negative comment Can you give your opinion on how to improve

Some of the aspects I would try to improve on are the following:

1. The text is not as legible as it should be. All the letters run into one big word and some of the lettering looks off. If you have bad handwriting try downloading a free handwriting font. That way you'll get the look you're after and it will be more legible than your current writing style.

2. The brush and paint stripe command more attention that the actual company itself. I'd try different approaches to getting more attention the actual name and follow it up with a strong image.

3. Work on the images. Take some time with your trusty pen/pencil and paper and doodle for a while working with different composition ideas. You'll find that you'll get a lot more out then trying to doodle on the computer. And once you've got a logo that you really like on paper, replicate it on the computer.

Do you have Adobe Illustrator? I'd suggest using that for logo production.

You're on the right track and I see where you want to go. Keep at it. You'll get there.

It is one word, I was trying to go for that look on the text, as if it was painted.

I did do a bunch of different sketches for my logo, then re-created it with my tablet.

Yes, thats what i used for this.

Thanks for your time to give me tips. I like when people describe what they don't like on it so I can fix it or implement their ideas in the future.

I like it, but the text itself reminds me of when I've tried to draw words in MS Paint with my mouse.

Well, if you want it to look as if the name was painted by the brush then the brush should end to the right.

I mean this with no disrespect, but it looks very amateur. Are you looking to make money as a graphic designer? If so, I'd work on the logo a bit more.

But then again, what do I know

Could help Googling tutorials for logo/icon design and follow the instructions there could help.

Not trying to be rude, but I would not want to hire you if I were looking for a designer and your logo would be looking like this.
Perhaps you should take it easy on the designing, first read some tutorials. psd.tutsplus.com is a great site.

Normally when one begins designing it's not that good.
