WAY too bright and overcontrasted, the tag would look better had it been abit darker, im not feeling the warp of the cutout either, the text is nice, keeping it simple, though the two words could be a little closer

ok

eto... thats not a sprite.. That can not be a sprite, its too huge fora sprite the render.
and its too bright, smudge looks odd, flow is on different side..

any better ?

try working on depth and colours.
its still too bright, your smudge is over sharpened.

ok

FIRST: That isn't a sprite mate
SECOND: i love the text:)
THIRD: Try to work on the contrast and brightness
FOURTH: maybe add some c4d's to give some flow o the sig??
