Brief from client
Not for a client, just learning AI
So this is my first logo using Adobe Illustrator, I've been making logos for a while as a hobby, but I've always used Photoshop. Somehow I decided it was time to learn Illustrator since its more useful for logo designing.
This logo wont be used in anything specific I was just practicing the Pen Tool and I tought an esports logo would be a nice design to start with. The logo itself is not a finished product I know there are a lot of small mistakes but since this is just an excersice and not a project I dont want to invest more time on it.

I like what you did with a first letter in " Pioneers " but the rest of them need more work. A head above script needs to be simplified, as there are to many things giving too many messages and way too many colors. Then try to see how this one looks on a white background before anything. Not a bad start.
Yeah I tried to do something similar with the "S" at the end of the text but I wasn't able to design something I liked, the shape of the S makes it really hard to add something similar like the P, and adding more detail to the rest of the letters looks like its too much in my opinion. But thanks for the tip.
And about the head, its more like a mascot for a sport logo, so most of the time using 3 - 4 colors with flat shades and lights works out, but as you say maybe the colors are a problem, I am not really satisfied with the colors. Also the logo looks good on any background because the outside stroke is really big.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
I think for someone just learning Illustrator, this is very well done. It looks like it would actually be used for a sports team. I agree the text looks a bit tight. The yellow lines are too close to the letters, and I would probably eliminate the red outlines since they're barely visible anyway
The number of colors don't bother me; It could be simplified if need be.
Great job!
I agree, this is really good work for a beginner. It's really good work for someone with experience, for that matter.
My only criticism would be that the outline surrounding the logo is inconsistent, and a bit rough in places. Try smoothing it out, and making it the same thickness all around (instead of getting thinner/thicker in places).
I'm going to try to find time to give this cool logo an in-depth criticism as he really deserves it.
But what I can already say is that for a first try at Illustrator, it's a bloody good job!
