There are a lot of good tutorials there that show how to get some nice smoothing using combination Gaussian blurs, I highly recommend them. :thumb:

I don't think it sucks at all. I like it and if you manage to smoothen it I'd like it even more.....

Well done :thumb:

if you could, take the outline of the lizard, turn it into a shape in photoshop (that way you can keep the logo good quality at any given size) then what you can do is fill the shape on canvas using an antialias... and if it's on a transparent layer you can give it bevel&emboss like you did...

That's pretty cool looking. I think it would look really cool if you made it in PhotoShop with a colored glass type of filter, kind of like the Mac Styles, and make it look like a glass seal on top of something else.
