This is the hand-drawn logo after being live-traced in Illustrator. I put this on its own layer so I could work off of it without distorting it. On a new layer, I began rebuilding the shape by drawing over it so I would maintain the curves and shapes, meanwhile cleaning up the rough edges.
These are the cleaned up, simple versions. Top is black on white and the bottom is clearly white on black. I think it looks more interesting that way. Then I copied the black version into Photoshop, added a tile texture, and embossed it. After that, I pulled it back into Illustrator and live-traced it again in black and white. It still has clean edges, and it is still in black and white. I think it looks pretty sweet.
This one is kinda sparkly...made just by playing with texture.
