Re: What do you think of the logo I made for 2879?

From an artsy/graphic designer point of view:
Do you really want both realistic lightning and animated-lightning bolt? its a weird thing when you look at it a second time... I'd recomend just using one (preferribly the realistic as it looks REALLY COOL), but its your logo. Don't change it if the team likes it!

Re: What do you think of the logo I made for 2879?

Just my first impressions:
- There are a few dark smudges from the lightning bolt on the orange background... I would get rid of these so the only place you can see the lightning is on the letters themselves
- It feels like it wants a third color to really make the logo pop... but i don't know what that would be or how to incorporate it.

I agree with this. Stick with the realistic lightning.

Adding a third color would be pretty awesome, as stated above. Maybe try some gray.

Re: What do you think of the logo I made for 2879?

While I understand that "thunder" doesn't translate very well into imagery, you're depicting lightning (two different ways). That's not the most straightforward branding.

It will look fine in print, but won't on a t-shirt or banner (the fine detail will look like bad printing).

Consider doing a vector (e.g. .svg) version, or at least make sure that you keep the details in separate layers in a raster version.
