I'd go with number 2. Not to nit-pick but, I'd change the font style of "Mazdaparts.com." That's just me tho. Looks cool anyways.

I'd also remove the word 'of' in the text below, and make it stand out more..maybe use white 'stroke' feature...??? Change 'Your Source' to 'The Source'....

Or "Your source for Mazda Performance Needs..."


my $.02.

I'd say first, the second one's rather busy, and maybe change the font like TXRX8 said. Very nice work though. It also makes a difference as to whether you're planning a light background or a dark background for your site

#1 is very nice (I like the peer in the background)
#2 is nice too but kind of busy
#3 is OK, but not too exciting

Good luck, I like #1 the best

If you're going to use this for a business you might want to find out if those images you made the logo from are copyrighted first. If so, I'm sure you can find someone on here that would provide you with some nice, professional quality images (dmp).

You do realize you just insulted me.

#3 is kind of bland
#2 hurts my eyes with all the crazy stuff in the middle
#1 looks good, but the pier seems kind of weird for a performance car parts ad, maybe a windy road or something.

I picked 1 anyways, my favourite of the bunch

I picked #2.

I just think that on #2 the white behind the .com is too much

You can't go wrong with either of the first two, but I voted for number one. I definitely like the simpler better, IMHO... but I might add some slowly animated subtle text along the bottom covering what models you do - plus animated gifs get more attention.

I agree with dmp's critique--lose the "of" especially and you're good to go. I also didn't see the relevance of the pier in the first pic. Doesn't seem to make sense to me. So I went with #2.

#1 for sure - #2 is entirely too busy. #1 I love the liquid look of the car, it ties in wonderfully with the pier & water or beach, and #1 is very clean. I agree w/the verbiage recommendations made as well.

Dayum nice work. I am impressed.

Please take this as constructive criticism coming from a fellow designer, my wife frequently plays devils advocate/gives me reality checks for my work.

I think number two is an interesting style, one similar to what I've used in the past, but does not work for a logo like this. The layer behind the text is a bit busy making it a touch hard to read. A simple fix would be to either blur it, or reduce the contrast between the busy stuff and the layers behind.

That said, I'd go with number one, it looks cleaner and when trying to make an impact, simpler is frequently better.

Looks good, I like the style you're going for.

The first two are too busy and the third one is too bland. If you want to use either of the first two you will need to make the background less busy. I've attached a VERY quick adjustment for you to see my suggestion. Hope you don't mind my chopping it up and stirring it around. It has clipping remnants in it so you will need to use it as a guide only.
