The placement of the TM is bothering me

Clients don't need options..

ahh, is NF a staff-sergeant (or whatever rank it actually portrays - pls excuse my ignorance) in america's army 'covert ops'? otherwise it's got 'classic-fail' written all over it.

You do, they pay.. everyone's happy.
- airey0
the NF looks just stuck on. can you perhaps add a grey tint someplace to give the letters depth?
- irrelevant0
ok, now that is a suitable crit.. yes I can..
- Jaline0
Yeah, the text should be modified.

i think the use of the staff sargent patch, as well as the colors it's made with, are not very welcoming. Maybe this is the goal. But other than that it doesn't really offer much by way of letting us know what you do, what your philosophy or vibe is, unless you're some militant dude who forces names on people
" You!! From now on you are StinkNose!! Comprende soldier?!?!?"Maybe some background on what the logo is for will give us more context to judge the logo by

Ok, forget a second about what the site may or may not be about. Jut look at the aesthetics of the logo.. do you like, is it appealing to the eye?

It's hard to critique a logo with no background. It could be a bitchass teen's loser Halo clan logo or an anti-virus software icon. Either way, it's neither original, nor telling (unless you want it too look like the US military, which I can guarantee you is not a good thing).
Also, don't ask for a crit and then be resistant when asked for another idea.

the 2 worded versions - is the type a little too small in relationship to the emblem?
- that's the least of its problemsmonospaced

Ok, I guess I am from a different design theory. I don't think a logo HAS to reflect what the site is about, but rather follow a theme of the site.. which is what I am trying to accomplish. Since I signed a non-disclosure, I cannot tell what the site is about.. but only ask if you like the logo.
If I had done the Google logo back in 1997 and asked if you gys liked it I would have been laughed out the room.. but look at the branding now because of it's functionality not it's aesthetics.
- actually the google logo still blows. it just proved that it doesn't matter sometimes.airey
- This won't appeal to 12 year old Japanese girls.
See how your theory fails?max_prophet

forgetting for a second, as requested, the lack of contrast, other than the two nondescript white letters in the middle, kind of make it all blur together. i mean the way you played with the light on the patch is nice, but all i see is a symbol, and an aggressive, non-friendly one at that (though i guess that's all in the interpretation).
Maybe if you chose a different font to display the letters in, one which counteracts the connotation of the symbol, it would give people pause enough to wonder what it's about and find out more
- i agree it feels extremely masculine. i'm getting darth vader imagery._salisae_

ok, now we are getting somewhere.. a true artist critique..
thank you locustsloth

i do not like it. it looks like a football team's locker room air-freshener. sorry. :/ looks as though you're leaning too much on 'style' or 'application tricks'.

I'd take the NF out of the graphic mark. Doesn't make much sense to repeat it with the word mark there. The type is too small and looks over kerned.
There's some nice elements there, you just need to figure out how to bring them together properly.

great response _salisae_ keep them coming in

The letters don’t look centered in the patch.
