Anywho, this is a logo for a client... however, I dont like it for some reason. I think its because it has that photoshop *feel* to it... you guys have any ideas on how to get rid of it? Or is it just not a good design? Thanks guys

Hi Akh...
I actually make a living as a graphics-designer.
So here's a bit of advice:
Simplicity! One very nice word to remember when dealing with design.
In the case of your logo, which I think has
a great deal of potential, try to make the big "A" totally white! That's it...
Then you'll have a logo with crisp contrasts
and the photoshop/fuzzy feel will be a problem no more.
Don't overwork it!
When dealing with logos try to use as few colours as possible. This will make the logo
pleasing to the eye and easily recognizable.
Is this logo for web-use only?
I allmost always use Illustrator 8 for logo design, and then rasterize with Photoshop later if the logo will be used on the web.

thanks a lot! i completely forgot about the more is less thing
It is for the web, and I did originally create it in illustrator s it should be easy to fix. I think i overworked it because i wanted to incorporate it into the web design, but oh well. ill just think of somethin else
