I know I'm not a logo designer like you guys, but I just have to give an opinion:

The skill displayed in the Roadrunner logo is exceptional...dbacks can rival anybody that I have seen on this forum in the last two years...and he is getting better and better...However...

dbacks, you are really talented and creative and have done many, many fine logos for me, but I think you are cluttering up your logos and creations. I do not think that the "faded out" look in the background adds anything to it but clutter...and it looks like smudges when they are resized for the OOTPB screens. When I look at it, I get the feeling that you erased your first attempt, but did not completely remove the old one, and just created another one on top of it.

I think the best logos are ones that are simple in design, uncluttered, easy to read, have well-coordinated and good contrasting colors and fonts and create a mood or stir an emotion related to the theme of the logo.

The Roadrunner logo has 95% of those elements...It is a fine one...with the one above reservation.

You are still as good as they get when it comes to logos and banners and graphics.

Here are a few of my favorites by dbacks:

This is a beautiful logo done about 2 years ago...but very simple and basic...you'll have to scroll down to the Roanoke Robins...I have already posted it previously and the forum won't let me post it again for some reason.

This Marston Nine is fine, too...done in the last year...but very simple.

And a few others...done two years ago.
