Damn, try and be supportive of dude and all I get is heated on, negativity sure is easier to come by, but yeah, I still agree, paint is needed.
Gimp, I think there's room for improvements on that style, the "i" seems to be overlapped, and the letters don't all seem the same size, and i'd say take a step back, and lose the pink shadow fill too. You've seemed to grasp the continuous style in that piece, but i'd think tweeking those things would help it out.
Sect, seems to me that the "s" is smaller than the other letters, and the "t" looks a lot more bulky. The shadow isn't all in the same direction, and I would think that the "e" should be overlapping the bottom part of your "c." I like the colour scheme though, and the hand throw looks pretty good, just try and get it in one motion, I think that way it'll look cleaner.
And blart, I like the second one the best, the "s" with only one little dip at the top looks better than the others. And I like the theme you were going with on the "s" and "a", I think you could have carried it on to the "n" and "k" because those last two letters don't follow the style of the first two letters. The "k" itself looks a little wonky, one too many corners, and if it's meant to be an arrow on the end, try connecting it like in the silver one.
