I'm liking this emblem look more than I thought I would. Only thing I would say is I would want the name to 'pop' more and the border to pop less. I am however really liking the use of silver and grey!
Ok, thinking outside the emblem look is working as well :) The only complaint I would say with the new one is it reminds me too much of neon. Maybe because of the rounded letters and color combo. But I really would like to see you expand on your first look. It reminds me of the windows 7 stickers that come on computers. I would love to see you enhance that and utilize the silver and green look more and create an 'emblem-sticker look' that would also go great as a silver (maybe metal) back-lit storefront sign.
