Does this logo go well with my site.

This is my (beginning) site: here

and this is the logo I was interested in

Obviously I am going to tweak the colors a tad to give it a bluish hue to fit my site's template and change the text. Otherwise does this look good? Is it a mismatch? Thanks!

It seems to me that this logo would be the most flashy thing on your website. Not really a mismatch I suppose though.

Doesn't really work with your site, but then again I am not sure there is a consistent enough look and feel to begin with.

I am in the same boat...why do you want this logo? because it looks cool? or is there some underlining reason? Ideally you need to develop a theme for your site. This is established through font choices, color, graphic style, etc. You shouldn't add a logo just for the pure sake of it.

give it a try I think it would look nice but for sure dress it up some to look like your own

The "Advanced Glow FX" logo is from a tutorial on psdtuts+...I know because I have tried out the effects myself. A lot of fun, looks cool. Here is my version:

My two cents...
Give the logo a try. It couldn't hurt to learn the Ps glow techniques anyway right? :D However, you do need to work on your website layout/theme. Simply dropping a logo like this in the top of your site will definitely throw the balance off.

Once you get a solid concept down, things seem to fall into place more easily.

I think,you can go with it! It's not a mismatch at all! I like the detail of your LOGO,the color too adds spice in your site! :)

Great graphic. You did well with the glow and aurora theme. However, the font doesn't match. It looks like a font that would be used for body copy. I suggest a sans serif font, or either a display font with serifs.

OP....what logos come to mind when I say "Fortune 500 Company"? They most certainly don't look like that. Think of epic logos that have sustainability: City, UPS, Coke, Nike, Addidas, Fedex. They are clean, simple logos with just a hint of hidden meaning.

Though that logo has flair, logos' should have meaning and simplicity, offer a clear and concise meaning as to your product or service, contain projectable sustainability, and be easy to reproduce. Will you ever print in black and white? Will you ever fax something with your logo on it? Gradients won't work over a fax / copy machine.

That logo has graphical elements that go all over the place....those lines aren't what you want with for website that sells phones. It works, to a degree, with what is says..."Advanced Glow Fx" because it looks like a glow stick / light flying around.

Perhaps you should hire a freelancer who knows what their doing. They listen to your wants, your likes and research what you need. Then hopefully come up with a design that meets your needs and wants.
