How to Improve Your Logo

First you have to have a logo before you can improve it 🙂 As I revisit establishing a logo for the Mike Tech Show, I came across this link on How to Improve Your Logo on digg. Many listeners sent in some great art work a while ago. I am looking over all submissions and still soliciting new ones.

Please send me your feedback.
