A couple things came to mind for me:
The fonts don't seem to fit well with the design. I would stick with grungier fonts to match the style of your image. The font on the banner looks "Oregon Trail"-ish.
The splatter looks very uniform and unnatural. Also, to me there is a fine line between messy and busy. Right now it looks more busy than grunge/messy. Maybe find some resources for splatter-type textures or brushes instead of trying to illustrate it yourself.
If you are going to use ornament type shapes, it's best (at least in my experience) to combine them so it almost looks like part of the splatter. In this it looks more like they are floating there.
It seems somewhat empty to me, and the only reason I can think of why it would seem that way, is there is too much solid blue "space" in the splatter. Perhaps making the splatter smaller(or everything else bigger), and making the utensils form a more narrow "X" would fill out the design.
Hope that helps.
I definitely like this better!
Why is the name of the organization so tiny? The banner with "Youth.." is kind of out of place and doesn't really match anything else. I'd get rid of the banner and make the copy more stylized maybe. Then have the empower... copy match the copy of the organization's logo.
I'd also suggest making everything bigger like Steph said. Have the fork and knife extend out of the splatter.
Something is off with the circles and flourishes. Not sure if I like them or not.
I feel like it's not "flowing", like the elements need to be more closely tied together...right now it just seems like some random "cool" vector stuff, but doesn't seem to be working super well togehter..play with juxtaposition/size/flow/etc. to make it more solid. the font on the banner is not maching either...

I think this logo is a lot like what is going on in design these days but I do think that the use of caps is taking away from what the actual words are. I don't know where my eyes should look first, ie what is the most important thing to be portrayed?
