You're moving somewhat in the right direction, but if you wanna have a logo, IMO, it has to be image and writing in one...You can't have the text outside of the image, there has to at LEAST be some overlapping between the two. Try writing "Star Wakeboard Industries" with like a shooting star behind it, or somehow incorporate a star into it.

This is constructive criticism, I think its great that you are trying to start this at such a young age. Also, just a sugestion, use a play on words, and open your target audience...change it from wakeboard to 'board'...there for you could use a play on words and call it "starboard industries" or "star-board inudustries" or something like that.

Take it or leave it, its just a suggestion.

Perhaps just a yellow star.... the star looks kinda cheesy. But I love your idea for a board company name.

I think the 1st star logo is ok, but would be better if you could mesh the words in with the star. Maybe do funky lettering instead of the plain stuff.

Thats better but make the star texture itself more appealing. I did this to give you an idea of something a tiny bit more complex.

CWBoarder691, Like it better now Wink Try expanding the letters outside of the star also. Just to break the form a bit. Tell me what you think.

why not just use a yellow star and call it "star wakeboard" rather than having the name anywhere?


i can think of hundreds of company logos i can recognize without having to be literate (texaco, shell, mcdonalds, pepsi, etc)

It looks like someone just downloaded Adobe and wants to be an advertising wizard. Hire a prosfessional to do this. Your logo is the single most important visual of your business and you're trying to fart around with programs you dont know how to use. Not to be harsh, but you don't even appear to have any creative juices.

Building off of what BrandonC said, you should really learn how to use everything that Photoshop has to offer before creating your logo. Spend a lot of time messing around with EVERYTHING in the program.

If you guys want some advice on creating your own logo then just look at how the professionals make theirs. First off, they don't make logos with Photoshop, you make them with programs like Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand or some form of vector graphic program.
You want your art work to be scaleable and not in a bitmap format where you can't upsize your art. (If I just lost you with that last line, then Google Vector art vs. Bitmap art and find out what the difference is.
If it's your logo then you'll want to be able to use it on multiple media formats, like shirts, stickers, web and whatever else you can think of to put it on.
Check out http://www.logo-mojo.com/html/logo_design.html to get some good ideas of good logo design. Go through their portfolio and see how a graphic designer makes them.
One last thing, using Photoshop filters when designing a logo is usually a bad thing. It looks like can'd art or clip art if you do that. Try getting a logo printed up on a t-shirt if you have a small brick pattern inside a star. The printer will laugh at you as soon as you walk out the door, or he'll just charge you an obscene amount to attempt it.

Hope this helps.
