New company logo! Critique?

[BlueSpot]

Making logos to customers is easy, but NOT to myself!

I been working with a logo for quite a while now, and this is what i have made for now... i like its easy not too much on it. (see attached pic)

The colors are brown/red and gold with a black outline.
Think it will look good on a big glass sign with gold leaf

What do you guys think? Does it look okay? Im blind on this one now

Ps. Sorry my english, Im from norway

On english the text is:

Eidskrem Advertising
signs and decor

It's simple and has the look I would expect from Europe. I think it looks good.

 

[artbot]

raise all the text a few ticks. and maybe a bit too much negative space on the sides.

Will it always be displayed on a red background?
I like it but it really lacks contrast.
Love....Jill

Yes its much negative space on this one, its because its the layout for a sign on 3 meters we already have. It wont be that much on the logo

Jill, mostly on red, but some just black and white too..

Maybe i should add that the city we are in is Aalesund, that is famous for its Art Nouveau style. http://www.norway.com/directories/d_company.asp?id=5806

I also think it looks good, very simple and elegant.

I however agree with Artbot pull the text up a few notches and as jill sad it lacks a bit odf contrast, at least in the picture. In real life i cant say since the colors probably looks a bit different and the contrast just might be ok then.

Good work

Very european looking, but by western standards, very average. I don't know why but for some reason Europeans always downplay "in your face advertising" but it is not always a bad thing. I guess "less is more"?

 

[signrios]

looks like a cosmetics label
i like it.

 

[SignManiac]

Also, the flags are a nice touch.
