Good idea, but the execution isn't great: the "patch" part.

Your stitches are wayyyy out of proportions. Try shrinking down your logo to a "usable" size. The stitches disappear.
You should make the stitches nice and big and bold, roughly the same size as the letters, and potentially rounded.

Here's something I was working on earlier (totally unrelated):


Having the same width & colour gives it a nice uniformity.

Hope this helps

Yea, I do need to size it down, I wanted it retina ready and over shot it. Is your font gradient covered but not the stitches or do they all have a gradient

Erm, none of them have a gradient The background does, though (it's part of this).

Retina isn't an issue, though. It's vector, it'll scale.

Did you make them in photoshop or illustrator? I ask because Mine were done in illustrator, then I put it in photoshop to do pixel fitting

[@Tom]

Better?





I'll leave these images here, I am working out a newish way. The font will likely remain but the rest of my stitching will change.

Your "o" is too small.

Here is what it has turned into as of now.



No longer my logo but now a nice image to put in emails.

Unless you guys think this works, but I do not

I really like it, you could use it as a logo, but change the colors to a little darker so it fits the background better.

[@Tom]

Which do you like better that one or this one (assuming I fix size and padding)



Do you think its swamp colorish (yuck)



Too dark?
