Cartoon Crown Emblem thing - Decision - May 30, 2014

I don't know. I just wanted to draw.
I know its not the cleanest, I made it in photoshop :$
But yeah, what do you think?

Try adding a small amount of inner shadow here:

And that will give the illusion of depth.
Other than that, I actually think it looks really cool.
I love the gems. Turn down the opacity just a bit on the black lines that make up the gems.
Add some shine to the crown by making an inner curve inside the crown with the pen tool, fill it with white, and lower the opacity.
If you want to get fancy even pen tool a little star looking shine like thing, and add it the edge of one of the tips, like this kind of shine:

Other than all that shit, it looks pretty nice. Try using a font that is equally symmetrical, or just use all caps with the font you have.

Alright man. Thanks!
I was actually thinking about adding shine but I wasn't really bothered. After seeing feedback I think I'll go back and clean stuff up.
Thanks.
Note: Shadows and such have never really been my thing, so the updated version is going to look a bit embarassing..

Crown looks low quality and the design colors hurts my eyes to be honest.
The font matches the design though.
Just work on your color palette and the quality of your designs.

Don't use inner shadow, just use the pentool and a slightly darker hue to create shadows.

Whoops, thanks Baghead. I don't really pen tool things like this all to often.

i don't like the yellow and the crown is very 2dimensional
