Default Fishing Logo

Hi all,

I need some help over here I made this logo for a small company that offers fishing holidays. It's located in the netherlands and they gave me some clipart low res google stuff. From there I made this...

I'd like to have some feedback from you before I show it to the client.

Greetz,
Laq.

I really like this a lot.
The only thing that bugs me is how the back fin cuts off above the "e". I think it might look better if it was curved, instead of being straight across... just a suggestion.

I like it as well, and my only criticism is that back fin. As ashley said, maybe curve it to the shape of the e.

Looks great. I think I agree on using a solid color for the text. You have too much of the same exact color in there.

But you did an awesome job on getting a gradient to work well with a logo. Like someone else said, that usually doesn't work out too well. But I think like a gray color for the text would look better.

Good work though!
