This was done as a Banner for the Fort Knox Chapter of the Ruff Ryders Motorcycle club. Fort Knox is known as much for it's tanks as it is for the gold vault, so they were used in the design.
The only thing I am not thrilled with is the font for the words "Ruff Ryders" but it was their choice. (as were the colors)

There's nothing I love more than the tasteful use of clipart.

Leaky- is that sarcasm I hear... lol. Being in the sign industry, sometimes I am not alloted enough time to afford to not use clipart. If that makes sense to you.
Art - true, no motorcycle in the design, they didn't want one.
I like the font...it's bike clubbish. However, your kerning needs some work...ie the "R" and "U" in RUFF.
One tank and go through your art collection and hang a motorcycle helmet from the gun.
Fort Knox Chapter; print black on white and place so that the design is balanced, but asymetrical.
Overall, the elements' positions need some work.

3dogmama - so are you suggesting I take out the bar and just place black type on the white background? I feel that it may lose it's separation. I like reversed type because of it's ability to separate text and make the individual items easier to read.
My eye is bouncing all over the place. The dark bar you can keep but I'd just try reducing its intensity...it's battling for attention with all of the other elements.

That R and the spelling of ruff ryders already exists, and might be copyrighted as well.

good luck weeding those tanks!
16 billion colours and you choose the one i cant create !??!
The kerning in "Ruff" and "Riders" and the unbalanced negative space around each is what keeps throwing me off...
me as well. the question is how to correct it? When you have two words that are forced to use the same space in a design and they are vastly different, what should you do?
alter the design? But if the client loves the layout then you shouldn't change it too much.
change the font size? that would look weird as well.
what is your suggestion?
if the client is happy, take the money and run. Dont change a thing.

I did. But thanks for the comment.
you need to learn that people are disecting your designs not you,
you cant upload to a critique website and expect people to give you praise, there are things that everyone likes in most of your designs, but whats the point in telling you whats good about your designs, you will never learn that way. filter through the crap comments and listen to the good stuff but only upload if you can take it on the chin and move on.
To be honest i thought you were a spammer just trying to advertise your company, you put my back up and like many others we immediately got defensive. Take it slowly and listen and read what people are saying and i think you will find that there is good advice there.
