However, this is why i believe its a suitable logotype; its a nice, simple, elegant font, its in black and its not overdone with effects, these all contribute to making it detract from your actual works as little as possible

Its a rounded font with a heavy stroke which gives it a cartoony feel and also i have angled it slightly and added a simple splatter at the end to make it more informal and 'fun' as i can see you want to go with what you did,

Thats the gist of it, but imo it presents a better image of your 'business' if you would

What are you Ad, some sort of design guru?? You doing a course or something?
Good explination about the font; I feel the same. BUT I think Wrexter has a point.
I think that logo that you've designed works well on its own (eg it'd look great on the REXPO flyer down the bottom) but when it comes to being on images like that, it should be smaller. Because of the thick font outline, I'm not sure it would work when made smaller. As you know it's a more of a 'design' font than a 'practical' font (meaning you couldn't write a book in that font of course).
Basically I think it works great big but not so great small, and that's what you might need to look at for his images when they are that small (ie web page-sized).
Otherwise I really like it Adam and nice work Jimmy on the latest car!

EDIT: tip for the latest car: you can see the "RAYS VOLK" logo on the front wheels is upside-down. I would just flip the text round so it's rightside-up. Only reason is so people can read it - I don't think it would detract from the authenticity at all.
