Availor,
in my personal opinion, the logo design should be much more simple... and much more cool, especially with the current name "Art of Design". For example, if I plan to plot this logo (bat winged eye-ball) in vinyl film for the outdoor sign - how can I do it ???
Of course, all these effects such a blends and reflections could be nice for printing and web graphics, but I guess it's always good to have an alternative variants for other technologies
