Here are two designs that i'm working on. They panda is basically finished but the text dominant image still needs some work. Tell me what you think. All done in Adobe Illustrator.

i guess you needed advise from a specialist...but im not. Just wanted to say i love the solid colours you used for the panda. What can i say i just love the overall design.

Is the Panda meant to be sad? The colours used and the pose would suggest that.

Strange choice of colours for the text heavy image.
Fire = Orange/red like flames
BUT Wind = green? Not blue/white like sky and clouds.
AND Earth = Blue? A sky or sea colour, not green or brown like grass or earth itself.

I actually think the colours look good, but with the obvious colour tie-in on the 'FIRE' text, you may need to adjust the other colours.

Wow someone actually replied to this, thanks:D . I intentionally didn't make the panda sad, he just came out that way, and I used those colors just because they appealed to me. As for the text dominate one I really didn't go with a element/color concept but it just came that way for the fire. I think I'll rework the design a bit more, but choosing just the right colors is a bit hard for me, but i see where you are coming from. Thanks alot guys.:D
