How can I improve my logo, don't laugh

I kinda like it, could do with anti-aliasing, making the gradients more subtle and some minor adjustments to the colour.

 

The blue and green are quite vibrant, where as the mustardy colour and the pinky-red are more pastel like.

 

Either make the green and blue more pastel or make the other two more vibrant.

 

Please remove the mustard though

 

However it does look kinda 90's.

 

I think first things first, think about the image you want to put forward, who your appealing too, what your representing. The mediums it's appearing on.

 

There are a ton of boxes that can be checked, they're just a few.

 

Here's a good article someone sent me just the other day. Deffo worth a read.

DO it in vector format and enlarge it so I can see it

Can't do vector diagrams because I've only got paint. The colours need modification and it is only going to be used as a favicon.

 

Thankyou for you useful comments.

Inkscape <-- Free vector program, to rival illustrator

 

The Gimp <-- Free Paint/drawing package, to rival Photoshop.

Ta I'll have a look at those.

No worries
