It's not a logo. It's a stupid little effect on Photoshop.Uzique wrote:
It looks pretty good, I certainly wouldn't glance at it twice and think "What the hell?" if it was the theme/logo for your store or enterprise.
Having said that, if you really wanted to nitpick... the text could be a little better. Also, as Jsnipy said- if you want to build a brand then focus on making it more recognizable. Just a 'J' won't do much for brand recognition... mind you, if it's a small-time enterprise then what does it matter?
Best of luck!
Edit: WHOAH! $500.00 for that logo? It's a satisfactory logo and all but I'm sure any Photoshop / design student could cook something up that equaled or surpassed it in quality in less than a day. 500 dollars worth of labour implies that he worked on this for at least a week... which I would find hard to believe. A rightful investigation imho!
you don't need illustrator to make a logo. Sure, it's the better program for logo-creation, but one could make a damn good logo in PS as well.Zimmer wrote:

Logos are done in Illustrator and are meant to mean something at the same time as being recognisable by any idiot he sees it.
A 3 months PS noob could put together a better logo than that. It's ugly, it's pointless and it's ugly.

You still do decent vector work in PSZimmer wrote:
If you call yourself a pro and are creating a logo for a company in PS, then you are a hypocrite.
You can make a good one, but you can never match the skill you require and the power of Illsutrator with PS. It's not comparable for such works. Ask Berna.

Indeed, but you will lack tiny details. Because in Ai you can zoom in infinitely. In PS, it's all pixelated.jsnipy wrote:

Actually with vectors it all coordinates and you make non rasterized image in PS (i.e. using shapes, pens) so you don't end up with pixelation. I will grant you that illustrator give more tools for this. But to say someone is an amateur for using photoshop to make a logo isn't true.Zimmer wrote:

Meh, I guess, I still thinks it's easier with Ai. Well... not exactly easier, but more options and once you know it like the back of your hand, then it becomes a great asset.jsnipy wrote:

I agree, but a logo is a logo no matter what program it's made in.Zimmer wrote:
