Here's the final version, It looks kinda stretched but I'm too tired to fix that, and I did a really bad job at tracing it again (did original on 600x600px). Edit: Here's another version, "The Pirate Apple"? well maybe, let me know what you think, and if someone thinks it looks like a rip off, I'll stop working on it. Edit#2: Here's a better version of the pirate one. <img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b92/fisheEr/Logo-PirateApplePreview2.png" /> Hi, I need some critiques or comments on this logo, any help will be appreciated. 2009-07-04T09:01:19-04:00 73 2009-07-02T22:18:38-04:00 48341 false false 14 12918 1 2009-11-08T00:15:19-05:00 1050 I like this a lot!
