PhatWall's final logo

[Kemble]

Last effort without the wings.

100% better

As mentioned try doing it in black and white or even grays
Try using a Sans font
Avoid stretching you type

I would maybe keep the (PW) together more maybe throw your name above it
and draw some sort of ribbon or scroll stating what you do below

Looks considerably better, and actually rather usable as a logo. I would say, based on the OP's logo and name, they are going for the young, urban, street look. Nothing wrong with that at all, it can actually set him apart from his local peers. That said, he'll have to brush up on his skills or he'll set himself apart, but not in a good way.
