    In my opinion it would look better if you loose the background.

    I really have to struggle to read the world RELOADED. This means it fails to get the message across.
    I agree with Larry, but to be honest the entire coloring is awkward and frankly, ugly.

    Hi,
    I am inclined to agree with Wizard can't read the reloaded and looks ugly...Ugly!

    I don't think it looks 'ugly' - 'ugly' is relative to context [and for that matter culture] - it's not 'soft and cuddly' or 'suave and elegant', but then it is for a car paint company and maybe 'retro' is what you want too

    that said the reloaded text is too cramped to read properly- maybe if you spread the letters out a bit more or used a different font...

    I'm inclined to agree with Steve, I like the overall design, particularly the highlights on the V and P and the frame of irregular-width circles.
    I'd prefer to see a more legible font, perhaps a slab serif, like Arvo. Also, I'd go for flat colours rather than gradients.

    as it's a logo I don't think it needs the background - the rest is enough - but again it depends on where it is going to be used

    Reloaded text is little hard to read, but as humans are curious by the nature it also forces people to focus on the logo longer to see what actually reads in there.

    I agree with what everyone is saying about the reloaded font, even though I like it, it is hard to read and does not seem to complement the rest of the logo. Ugly might be a bit harsh, in fact for it's intended purpose I don't think it is, but without that rippled background I still think it would be better. It's just the choice of background I have a problem with, something flat and simple would be better.

    Hey thanks a lot for your comments, this is exactly what the customer wanted, can you believe that? He was sitting next to me while making the job, i told him several times about his choice, but he didn't want to listen, anyways, he already paid for it, wish that I could upload the original logo, you will have a good laugh with it, too bad we can't do that (legal stuff..). Thanks for all the comments.
