I hate to say this to you, but, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best I would give your logo about a 2 or maybe a 3.

The second letter L in Sell is in the word everything. I don't really like the different font types and the dark shadows.

I do like the font type that you used for the word Everything. I would only use one font and that would be the one that you used for the word Everything.

If you revise the logo again, let me know and I will take another look at it.

Put spacing inbetween the words instead of running the words together.

Definitely need to lighten the colors up a lot. The font also looks like an older font. Don't for get to try to incorporate what your business does, biggest mistake people make when making a logo is not incorporating something that tells the viewer what you do.

Ok, you are correct, you used the same font but different colors. My mistake.

I agree, it's better than the first one, but there's nothing there that says 'fast' to me - other than the word itself. I think something to give it 'movement' would help, something that implies 'fast' a bit more. Just my 2 cents

the second one is much better and especially for your proposed skills using photoshop. Just remember for a logo its something that will stick out in someones heads so sometimes its best to stick it out for the right logo as opposed to changing it in the near future more than once.

Hi to all,
I read your comment and photoshop is really good software for editing logo and if didnt find the time for that then its fine but when you seems like to learn then its not a big problem so not to worry .... thanks for sharing link...

When it comes to logos, simplicity is very important! I think you are trying to be too clever, which is making it difficult to read. Just keep it simple, and make sure it is readable at many different sizes.

Hiya D1zi3!

I "took a look" at your logos. The first one you can't really read that well. It's important to make sure your audience can read and/or understand a logo. The best thing to do is ALWAYS keep it simple & direct. The second one is better but it still had that "double take" aura. in other words - you have to really look at it to understand what it says.

I think the colors are wrong. I would not put a red background under the green text. Use a gradient for that background burst with some paler colors like yellow with red edges. And I wouldn't use that kind of day-glow green for the text. If you want a contrast in color try something else. And you might want to make the "fast" word the different color since that is the verb - if "fast stands out more it sends a subliminal message to the viewer that it really is fast!
hope this helps - Good Luck!

almost forgot - if this is for the web - it's fine to use photoshop but logos generally look much better if they are created in Illustrator as a vector graphic. In my opinion, Illustrator has better control and manipulation when it comes to painting with gradients too.

Keep trying and I know you can do better then that...
Just look at the logo very carefully and think whats wrong..May be lighten up a little bit..not using two dark color at the same time. Watch out for the fonts; use fonts that matches means looks fine together and if wants to join letters then I think using one font is better..Just keep up progressing. It would be the best if u just look carefully how and why u are using it...I am waiting for the next one. I mean an improved logo.OK
Thanks

The latest version looks better than the first one. But I'm still not digging it. A logo should be image-based, not text-based. Think of something visual that is both creative and memorable.
