The lines leading to the spike point were sort of necessary. It’s hard to make that w/o 3D effects, and I didn’t want them for that, since it was a Vexel.
I feel that the Essence in that styling doesn’t match the rest of the image at all. I do like that you made the BA graphic into a usable image for the background; did you vectorize it or just do it in PS?
I like the direction you took with the Essence, but it’d look even better if you made the General-Yo logo with the same styling. Right now they look like they belong on two separate themes.
To make the USA one more cooler IMO, try to make the halves not lined up perfectly to where it is a straight line. Make them more natural, like on the back half the lines are about 50 degrees more counter clockwise.
I think 50 or 45 would work better because they aren’t perpendicular and they aren’t too close. And I mean 50 from where it is now (about 100 degrees from the top).
