for your first logo, its pretty good.  
i like the colors, orange and blue go well together  
and the little design in the center is very cool  
but i think you went a little overboard in making it 3D’ish that it deminishes the quality of it. Like the text with the 3d on it makes it look small and squishy, and you can hardly make out what it says  
and as everyone on these forums have said, try makin it smaller, if it goes smaller without being all weird and stuff, then you’ve got a good logo, it should be able to work at any size

it looks good but bring it down to 50x50 and see how it looks then, can you still read the text and see the details? if so then it is good, if not then back to the drawing boards my man. also, the scan lines dont look all that great…

also thanks for the quick replies. i did away with the 3d look and changed lettering around and you were right it looks alot better and when i resize it , it doesnt look like a “glob” 🙂 but u can’t read the letters

That logo has too many complex details that isn’t going to hold at a smaller size. The scanlines will be gone, there is no way that type of font will hold and be readable. Embossed text will never hold when rescaled so keep that in mind.

As for the logo itself, I remember seeing that design many times before so you might want to change it up a bit. Good luck. =)

A good test to see if you have a solid logo is to place it in a two color setting… black and white being the best so you can also get an idea what it might look like when faxed over.
