I haven't done this sort of thing in a very long time.

I would maybe separate the T and R, and then apply a border to make the letters more easily readable. Maybe a bright Bronze or Goldenrod border to complement the blue-green

I'd like to echo this, please don't use arial, it's just not an attractive type font for something like this imo.

I couldn't quite put my finger on what was terrible about it before. Yes: The font is terrible.

Honestly the design isn't the worst thing, but it wasn't implemented correctly. Choose a font that isn't terrible, give it a cool looking, simple red stone border (similar to the texture the dota logo is) and make sure that it's anti aliased.

The texture isn't terrible, but it's overwhelming. If you give it a border without too much detail, I think it'd be acceptable.

To be clear, the terrible typeface decision is just one of the multitude of things wrong with what is going on in that image. That line item is just where I happened to decide to stop listing them.

while that is certainly better than the first, I suggest you take this test before going for #3

This is actually an interesting website, and extremely useful as well. Did not realize how bad I was at putting letters on things. 8/10 tries I did got scored at around 40/100. Only one went relatively well

And yeah, OP. the second try is already better. the original one was completely unreadable.

76/100

The last one completely screwed me over. I had one letter wrong, so all of it was wrong and I got a 0. I think my score would have been mid 80's without that one.

Ha, I own at that. Got over 90 on all of them and a lot of 100s. If only I was actually a good artist I would be a good artist.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

The second try really is just kinda bland. The use of negative space in the first attempt is interesting, it just wasn't executed correctly.

Hahaha, I think the only slightly confusing thing is capitol letters because spacing rules apply a little bit differently. With a word such as "Talk", the "a" can clearly fit more comfortably under the "T" while not appearing to have a spacing issue. :/

I know nothing of design and that stuff but just as an outsider. The first logo were really hard to tell at first what was typed there which is never a good thing. The second one you posted were quite a improvement but still not that attractive. Keep the work up and you will learn more tricks and methods to make your design greater than ever!

Technically the second one is better but like jrkirby said it's just far too boring and generic imo. I'd keep working on the idea of positive and negative space like in the first one. First step is just get rid of that vile texture

I must have an execrable taste in art since I like the first one (and don't give a damn about kerning for a three letter acronym)
