Nice and simple.. pretty good logo actually. Although there is something about the stars that don't appeal.. maybe add a subtle gradient or use a different shade of yellow? Maybe spice up the ring behind it as well (whatever it is called), but that's up to you. The layout you did with the text looks nice though.

Hi and welcome to GDF.

We ask all new members to read the threads posted HERE and HERE. They explain how the forum runs, the rules, frequently discussed topics and our inside jokes.

Not a bad start. Just to tidy things up, I would make the small text all the same pt size.

I'd also make the ring a little smaller. The larger the logo, the smaller the text is in the overall percentage. In this logo, the largest text is only 1/3 of the height of the total height. This means that if this logo was printed at 10mm high, the text would only be 3mm high and the small print even smaller. To fix this, do what you can to make the text a larger percentage of the overall size.

The color scheme of black, yellow and light gray - one of those elements gets lost on almost any background color you put this on. I'm normally against strokes but think the stars would benefit from a black stroke here. There's some extra space between the Astronomi and the swoosh, maybe condense that in a little. Kelab isn't centered vertically. Overall I like the composition and style.

In Astronomi, did you intentionally force the baseline inside the box by making the letters that normally descend below the baseline (the S and the O) shorter to match the height of the stick letters?
It looks Very Wrong.
