Logo for a fictional chopper-style motorcycle with two back tires.

Goal was to create a believably realistic/professional-looking logo for a fictional vehicle for a game. Vehicle is a chopper-style motorbike with multiple back tires and a sissy bar; lettering is intended to evoke similar patterning.
**Artist is total amateur with no vectoring software. In other words, please be kind, this is my first time.

I dig your idea to make a silhouette of a motorbike from " G " with a steering column plus a handle. I would like to make a few suggestions : 1. drop a drop shadow entirely to make it less distracting., 2. thicken the lines., 3. place " i ", " b ", " b " on a minus 45 degrees angle toward a diagonal line coming from a " G "., 4. do the same with "n " but place over a half of " o " to resemble that back part that usually goes over a back tire. You can even add leather strings to the bottom of the handle to make it more unique - but that is optional. I like your idea of creating an object from letters. Think that you're on a right path with a few tweaks here and there. Good job and good luck!
Well this looks pretty good, but it's definitely not a style I would associate to choppers, motorbikes and the whole universe around them.
That being said, it's pretty well done, though I first saw two eighth notes, albeit reversed.
That drop shadow: get rid of it. It brings nothing good to your logo, only complication (keep it in mind as a rule of thumb)
I must say, for an amateur who first dabbles into graphic design, this look promising. But you really have to find yourself a copy of Illustrator, it's quintessential to logo design.
Good job nonetheless!
