I recently made a graphic and figured I'd get some c&c on it. I think the only thing I don't like about it is the text.
Anyways, tell me what you think.
UPDATE:UPDATE #2:UPDATE #3:UPDATE #4:

Dude, that's 9000 brushes too many.

Yeah, I was going to say it reminds me of the preview images on the brush sites I used to go to when I first started. If you lessened the number of brushes and maybe added color and shadow/glow to make it more realistic, it might be better.

I like the techie thing you're trying to do, you've just overdone it with such varying brush styles. I'd stick to one or two styles, maybe three if it's subtle and stick with the change of opacity and shades of gray/black/white. Maybe even toss in a little red.

Ok, I updated. I tried to not use to many brushes.
Thanks for the feedback. :)

I like it, but I'm not feeling the font. The first font you used might look good.

Nice updates. I am not going to lie the first was really bad, but the 2 after are pretty good.

Noootttt bad!
The font still seems a little out of place though. Under the middle line that goes like O-----o, delete the little cubes under neath and space your font out under there. Adjust the kerning to make large spaces between each character and then I'd think it'd look awesome.

Total double post. :P
Anyways, I tried to do what you said but I'm not sure if it worked out right, I think. What do you think?

looks better to me. Maybe move the words left a little more. It bugs me how the s is touching the line. =P

Update #3 does look more pleasing to the eye than the first one. But it still looks like pure brushwork. :\

Ok, I moved the text a little to the left.
In response to Mark's post,
most of it is brushes but I made the tiles and the lines in the background and the little spheres/squares.

Woah, definate improvement. I still think it could use a little color somewhere...maybe that's just me.
Just curious, what's the difference between #3 and #4?

He moved the text to the left.
I think you got
a lot better as you edited them. Your first version just had too many brushes in them. I think I like #3 the best.

Why is everyone going to the left?
I think if it was spaced up to the little square on the right, with the font made a wee bit smaller, maybe in all Caps and with a smaller shadow it'd be purty schnazzy.

hmmm...It just looks like you found a million brushes and then added some text and to top it all off. gave the text a drop shadow. If you give text or anything a drop shadow, center it directly under. Drop shadows like the one you have is very 90's/2002.

Wow, big improvement from your first one. Though, I don't think you had that many brushes...just that they shouldn't overlap too much. Don't really prefer the circles with the drop shadow, or the circles at all. Anyway, you should look into new fonts too. Some of these would would fit your graphic better-
http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=303&am...&classt=popThis one seems cool:

Anyway, not bad. Is your bg one brush, lots of brushes, or entirely designed by you?

Thanks for the feedback.
Well, the background is some brushes but a lot of the lines and the spheres/squares/tiles were made by me.

the last few definitely improved from the first one (: honestly, the font still sticks out a little much for me, i'd use a lighter version of the font you're using so that it fits in a little more with the image.
