Kuyt one is ok but the render is too sharp IMO and the back Ground is a tad Boring. The Gerrard one i love, The background effects are good but Stevie looks a bit too blurry and the render isn't perfect but good efforts none-the-less
The Kuyt one is very simple and there aren't any effects at all. They're also not cut very well at all but you're a beginner so I won't blame you. You should get some new fonts instead of using the default ones, and try not to stretch the logos because they look pixelated and when they are, it's not good. And Max, that Gerrard one is in his sig, he made it ages ago and it has it's own thread lol.
Background is very boring.. you really need photoshop and some good brushes.. also get some new fonts coz the one you are using is dull.. cuts need effects and to be cut better.. as glenn said dnt stretch your logos coz they just look crap when they get pixelated.. the more you make graphics th better you will get.. just keep at it.. lmfao max youre a dumbass lol
