It looks good, though in my opinion, the whole 'spray paint' look to the letters doesnt mix with the black/yellow stripes as a background. Just my opinion of course.

Hmm, thats not what I get out of it, mabye if you added a little 'rust' to the metal part (the outline) and you could even add a bit to the lettering itself, that COULD give it some distinction from the background thereby fixing what I had first mentioned...?

You're good for a beginner, DrumMasterFlash

Keep it up, that looks sweet, but that wire just stands out and looks weird being there.

Eh... It's alright if ur new to all this I guess. But there's so much here that's dirstacting, it makes it hard to say this is good, IMO. You say ur trying to go for a worn look, yet all the black parts and the border are flawless. Another thing that's bugging me is the font and the difference in fonts. As is it looks like "F-Lash". The "F" is on a higher level than the rest of the text and is smaller. That's a double negative in the basics of typography. If anything the F should be bigger and lower than the rest. The fact that the F is a different font than the rest isn't really working here either. The typeface of the rest of the text is unattractive and doesn't match the theme in the least. And then to top it off, you have a cherry red (like the sundae comparison? lol) wire just sitting at the top of it all with nothing else to balance it out.

Fix those and it could be good.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Yeah i kinda messed up this picture when my add kicked in. It was suppose to be all high tech, hints the sharp chrome and wire, and then i added the hazard tape, and then destroyed it lol.

And for lost boy heres some other things i've made;

an avator for xlink-kia;
