I really don't like the circle smudging, it seems to stick out to much and looks bad on the brighter lines.
Yeah, i tried blurring to bring in attention towards the render, but it looked really bad. Oh well, I agree it's pretty fail.
I agree a little bit, One thing i thought looked pretty tight was probably the most simple thing.. The text lol, I thought the switch of colors was cool, but i suggest other then black and grey you do opposites, and make them balanced, right now it looks as if the silver/grey is all shiney and it stands out more.
Good idea on the text. But as it may, I will not do more versions of this. I...have a higher purpose!
