A friend of a good friend of mine was looking for a new design for his record company logo, I honestly have no clue how big the company is, and I've only heard that most of the labels artists are of the rock genre. This is what I came up with last night and I've went through and tried to refine it a bit make it something nice, tell me what you think of it all and what I can improve on

I like the black background better, but (there's always a but.... :D ) the thick outline that surrounds th mic and the worm detracts a bit form it. In general I think it would be good to define the worm some more, especially if the logo is to be used in relatively small sizes (see the thumbnail I hadn't trigged that it was a worm). Anyway just my $0.02

Thanks overchord, I've taken your suggestions and made a new version, I had to change the background to black because those white explosion things hid the worm to well when I took off the outline.

I tried to make the shadows and highlights stand out a bit more, How do you like it now?

Hi aldog

Its an improvement in a lot lot areas, but i somehow think it seemed to work better on the black background. The Worm has improved - a lot more defined now, ans as long as the logo does not have to be reduced too much in size it should be fine. If it has to be reduced down to something along e.g. thmubnail size I think you need some black lines around the worm and each segment perhaps.
The text along the mic worked better with the outline somehow, but ut could be the different colored background as well (the text and background is almost white on white now).

But definetly some improvement :thumbsup:
