Club Logo, Constructive criticism and suggestions Options

[mizzkim]

So I am not the best graphic designer, but I would love to improve. I'm working on my portfolio for school.( I'm majoring in web design) I did this logo for my friend who started a club at my school. It's called Universoul Language Society. It's basically an audio club. He told me the stuff he wanted in this design and so I created.

I did this a while ago, but I want to hear other opinions. My designer friends said it was weird, others said tacky, and some liked it..ect. I did all this work in photoshop.

If it is tacky... or bad what can I do to improve the overall design or anything else?

^Lul wat? There's plenty to say so she can improve it.


-The orange/yellow/red planet is low in image quality.
-All the colors you used don't match at all (use color palettes. Colour Lovers is a great site for that).
-There is just too much going on in the background with the notes and swirls.
-Font effect could use some work. Kind of reminds me of that Word Art thing in Word.

Tbh, I'd just start over. :/
