Add a white 1px stroke around the center text on #1 and that one would be better. I know its a destroyed font and strokes look horrible on destroyed fonts but trust me on this one.

Lose the photoshop filters and keep everything in plain black and white.
In nearly all cases, the simplest logo has the most impact on its audience.

Nice work.

I'm definitely a fan of number one. I think it pops off the page better.

Are you considering the ink/paint background as part of the logo? I'd like to see the two versions on a different background.

I got the idea when broswing the internet. I was looking for graphic designers when I found

http://inkstaindesign.com/

I was just about to query them about doing a logo for me when I had an idea. I'll use their name in my design...now, can i even do an ink stain. In came DevianART with there downloadable ink stain brush. Made it myself and then found that guys site...

BTW, I made a new logo also.

The third.

I might add that I don't think you're copying Tims's. An ink splatter isn't exactly a new or original idea, but the mixing of it with other stuff helps. Take note that Tim's site doesn't have any shading to it to give it a 3D feel and the right-hand side isn't suggested anywhere on your logo. Also, the boxes idea (border with internal color) isn't new nor is your design reminiscent of Tim's (yours has a shading from top to bottom, while Tim's is just a single color). I think Tim just got a little offended that someone could come up with an idea similar to his, though sufficiently changed, even though the elements to both have been around for quite some time.

Thank you, you're totally correct, I didn't copy his site. I bet there are hundreds of sites out there similar to his.
