not a fan of gradients that are that obvious.
get more illustrative with the letters and tighten it up so there is no need for a "background" aka gradient

First thing that gets me is legibility, the type just gets lost in the busy-ness of the whole piece. It seems too complex with flimsy strokes and curves galore. Try it one color first and build from that I think the gradients and thin strokes are taking away from the positive negative space that you have to mess with within it.

Oh and your drop shadows are horribly inconsistant (i reccomend no drop shadow.... what does it say about the company in the first place?)

yeah...the shadows and gradients are outta wack. my excuse is that the clients wanted some eye candy. They are targeting chopper enthusiast where most people like flames, colorful tats, paint jobs with gradients and so on. I will be making a more solid one without the shadows and gradients, but when i showed them things like that, it bored them at first. As clients, they didn't really see the need to keep things as simplified as possible, so I had to sale them with what they wanted....eye candy.
heres the link to the black and white version:

it's better, but i'd still thicken the stroke on the banner or at least make it more organic.... Also the vertical symmetry on the flame backdrop is weird (the tips being the same bogs me out) but it might just be me...

I would just echo what the others have already said about the gradients and shadows. Bring the complexity with your design of your flames...check out some tattoo parlors, or look for flame tats on the web...symmetry is good but not PERFECT symmetry.
my 2¢
oh and this is just freaky -
