Hi again, please disregard that last suggestion about Gold. I pulled it into photoshop myself and that is the wrong way to go!
so, I played around with it a bit and uploaded it here
https://logotournament.com/contest_attach?id=13033.Please try to reproduce this. I noticed part of the readability issues is because you have a shape behind the letters. I deleted part of it so you can see the rounded part on the "P". compare this attachement to #182, and look closely at the right side of the "P" to see what I mean. I'd like contour the shape of the background images to follow the shape of the letters.
I also used the dodge tool to brighten it up. It gave it a glimmering, sparkle effect on the highlights which I really like. I also changed the color of blue to a brighter shade, just slightly. If you can reproduce this, I think we'll have the winner!
