I like the flourishes so they're staying xP. But as for the text.. im not sure how to improve it more, or what kinda colours to use... Hope you're enjoying your holiday .

Will do. And have fun, knock back a few c.ocktails for me .

Yep ^^

Show me your progress, even tho Ill be on the beach till next tuesday!

Gotcha. One question. What are the flourishes? the swirly blue things at the sides? xD

Now try getting ride of the flourishes, take some of the shield reflections away and make it less crystal like, add a soft metallic pattern like a grainy one in soft light (you have to make it gray so it doesnt change your background color), that way it will gain that shield like texture, try getting the shield a bit darker, it should make the blending with the wings better, try the shield in grayscale also, maybe even black with some small dark gray details as bright, shields aren't that reflective, the difference of the shadow with the bright in those textures isnt too big. Put some kind of blending mode in the letters so they get the shadows of the shield, and try to use some serif typography for the "gaming", make it completely horizontal, right now is breaking your composition a bit, and get ride of the dot, it aint necessary.

I think these steps should improve your image heavily.

Oh, if you really want to use flourishes, try integrating them with the shield's border, so it doesnt mess with the logo, but would be a cool detail.
