no guide, nothing, just experience here

I didn't too much though so it wasn't exactly difficult

Crits & Comments greatly appreciated!

I probably won't change much more in this logo though, but I still wanna see what I can improve on

Again C&C greatly appreciated :3

The good:
1. Simple and to the point
2. overall good composition

the bad:
1. The red shine seems a little strange. Moreover you've placed it on top of the text, resulting in a red edge on the big letters.
2. gray border border seems a little out of place when you have round edges on the inner part.
3. could do with shine on the letters
4. You could try adding some kind of pattern behind the letters (hexagons, squares or w/e). Just a plain gray-brownish background is boring.

thanks for the feedback :3

The round edges are for when I plan to make the background of the site blend in with the logo outside border.

I'll consider the shine as well. I probably add a arch in the midly in the center of GAIGETECH and make the top slightly lighter or darker



and the shapes behind the logo, I like the idea but I'm kind of confused on that, could you give some more detail or some examples on what you mean?

Needs a bit more Pop. try a couple different typefaces as well.
The background looks washed out - and I'm guessing pure red would just hurt.
try different things you can do with it so it not just some boring text.

That's like a hellalot better ^___^
As for the shapes behind the logo... well you already added something :P

Personally I'd pick something a little larger. Right now there's so many particles in the background that it looks a little hyperactive. In my imagination I just put some hexagons behind the letters and had them fade out as they closed in towards the borders, but it's really just personal taste.

It's best to just pick out something that will fit with the rest of the website.

Some minor points you may want to consider now:
- adding some light at the rounder borders to make it look like it sticks out.
- turn the gaige into a light source
- calmer background pattern
But these are all personal preference.

EDIT:
oh yeah, the gradient change is a little too sudden/sharp and possibly not at the right place (not sure about the second part)...
