@Dog: It's not a logo. It's an abstract render with some blurry text over it.
You asked 
Just a fun little logo that we just whipped up:
We just got Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0, so we are experimenting with some of its features.
Try not to go nuts with those features, BB. it's the artist, not the tools, that make an artwork.
Some constructive criticism... If you can't take it, don't read it.
- Don't misuse the layer styles. That weird green/white on the lettering and the insane drop shadow makes it nearly unreadable. Try a simpler approach.
- For showing a logo, it's generally nice to show it on a neutral background such as white, black, or shades of light or dark grey. There's no reason to make it look worse with a bad background colour.
- You might be on to something there with the silhouettes of your sigfigs, however the dithering and eyeball-gouging red is quite off-putting. Try tracing around the darker areas of that image with clean lines (use the pen tool for this) so that you get nice crisp shapes.
- Try designing your logo completely in black and white before applying any colours. If it works in only black and white, you're off to a good start.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Thanks for all the help Sean! Here is a new logo:
If you want to put a lego brick in your logo, it's best to use LDD, place whatever brick you want onto the grid, go into veiw mode, and then click the snapshot button. When you go into GIMP (or anything else), the brick background should be transparent, so you won't need to cut it out.
ITS A MEGA BLOK!!!!! D:
Says you. No, I made the brick have five studs to kind of say that splodge pictures creates the impossible. although I don't see how that relates to MegaBloks, do they have five studs?
No harm taken. Seriously I laughed when I saw your remark. Just like I laughed when I saw my friend's reaction when I asked if he'd seen the Italian Job.
Definitely a major improvement, BB. The underline is strangely satisfying too.
There's more than one way to skin a cat, Yoder, and whilst taking a brick silhouette from LDD may be a god solution it isn't the only one. For example, I drew the brick in my logo from scratch, are you saying it would be better if I had have taken one from LDD?
That's a nice start, Splodge. Try making all the studs even (you may want to try turning on the grid in whatever program you're using for this). Next make the brick a bit less overpowering. Your studio name looks very small and neglected down there.

No. MegaBloks just suck. And sometimes have deformitys; I.E. five studs.
A new one.
I'm quite pleased with it, myself.

My temporary logo. I haven't gotten around to making a permanent one I like.
That's a vast improvement on your previous logo, Dog. The gradients combined with harsh black outlines are a tad off putting.
I have it on my desktop background:

I haven't used it in any films yet; though I used an LDD variant in my latest. I'll be using this one from now on.
It was kind of tricky; originally, it was supposed to be all in one straight line, but I couldn't make the M without it being extremely wide, so I made it on the corner. I think it worked out well.
That's really neat, but if I'm gonna be nitpicky, then I'm afraid I've gotta point out that the middle 1x1 should have a solid stud, rather than a hollow one.
