This is my first Illustrator item. I followed the tutorial on designing a logo, but I didn't like the orange colors. I love blue - maybe even more than most people love blue - so, I tried to use a gradient blue background instead. What caused me trouble after going with the blue was coming up with a good contrasting text color. The "tan" I ended up with seems to me to show up well - I can actually see the "Web Designer" on the blue background - but, I'm not sure how attractive it is.
What do you think?
