Save me from what I want

I made a rough logo design for that software project my friend is working on yesterday. I e-mailed him a GIF of what I had done so far, asking him to let me know what I should change.

The products name is going to be named "ajax charts", and I only remembered the "ajax" part of the name. That and the "j" of the font I chose looks kind of like a dropped "i". No big deal. I made the changes in a few minutes.

Then as I looked at it more the bitmap part of the logo started looking too blurry to me compared to its super clean vector graphics. That and the proportions looked a little off. Granted I didn't start with a full resolution image, because I had decided to wait on purchasing the image I wanted to manipulate until after my design was approved. But, now I have an excuse to try the 3D editing program on my Mac (blender 2.41).

The trouble with this approach is that blender has a pretty steep learning curve. I could probably create what I want in a few more days, but I already have one ready to go, and the sooner I get this done the better. Still, I want to learn how to use blender. I guess I'll do that on my own time. Oh well. Back to using Illustrator. :-p
