I like it allot, nice fonts! As for the photon patch, as I remember it doesn't
work well with area lights, though I did and image, my first photon image
(quite a few posts down), with an area light and photon mapping which turned
out quite nicely, had very subtle caustic maybe that's the problem though,
maybe they weren't supposed to be so subtle? Oh and if you wanted to use
photon mapping it only works with textures that are somewhat reflective or
refractive, I don't see this in any of the textures for your logo. Also you
won't see any reflective or refractive caustics on a background as bright and
white as yours is, you need to tone it way down. And lastly I find the shadows
in your image confusing, its hard to tell where the lettering ends and where
its shadow begins, tree angling the light so the shadows aren't cast right
behind the lettering and use an area light with more lights, the shadows are
too sharp.
