OK, but you have no arguments to back up *any* of your opinions, let alone visual examples that don't "kind of suck ass", a complaint that only an unserious person with nothing to offer would make.

Put another way, anyone with opinions worth listening to about graphic design would never say something like that as if it actually meant anything, they'd have more self respect and better communication skills.

OP's design is fine if you just need a placeholder or as a spitball idea to build from, but when you are trying to emulate a certain marketing style or level of sophistication, or a historical era and do it from scratch, you have to actually know that shit and apply it or you are just flailing, and theres also legal considerations when you do what the OP is talking about with something suggestive of or based on an existing brand. You have to be smart.

That goes for being a critic too; at least try to sound smart.
