Swmmer. This is a very powerful logo. I really like it a lot EXCEPT for the starburst color/pattern. It looks a bit like a calico dress material. Without losing the fun of it, can you make it more "sophisticated"
32- Your moving in the right direction. Try other colors. Would yellow work, or a dfferent subtle pattern ? Try a smaller size as well. see http://www.dnb.com/us/ for color
Thanks for the feed back. I wish all buyers were as considerate as you. I have toned down the star burst a bit and perhaps it is slightly more 'controlled' -- but left the red which I believe is essential. There is a subtle outline of yellow on it and an even subtler drop shadow. Sometimes these things are hard to see on a low res file as this. This concept originated with me literally "snapping my fingers" and I thought -- "how do I convey this to print?" This is what I ended up with -- clean and direct. Any more suggestions will be welcomed. Again, thanks.
