Just a couple of thoughts and suggestions. The symbol and text are a little overpowering with the size and placement. Maybe set the symbol at lower right with a little fade and 2d the text and a little smaller and fade at another quadrant? Pattern looks good.

Hmmm, Bones I like your attitude 
What I think: You are rich in contrast, depends on what your idea is about the title. If it is a sort of warning or so, I would make the background much more dramatic, for instance to the left there is a figure you can sort of fall to the ground or something. Maybe the light white spots can vary in grey tunes, make your composition so, that initially the eye focuses on one item ( for instance the logo), then the eye should be stimulated to wander through the whole image. If it was my work I would let the emerald green "shadow" overlap all areas of the logo, and use it as a lightsource that also touches the background (same colour but saturated to grey)..Use transparancy brush so that you get a glaze effect. I would play with text and logo, more to a dynamic composition rather than static. Maybe a kind of dark red over the bottom part of the text, again transparent, and you get a neat shadowy green. Integrate the text more with background. Just a few thoughts. Keep on going bones

Thanks pictoratus, scale down the text a little, yep.
Lecrayon, superb ideas, thanks a mil! I like the red trans idea.
Çërêb®øJÐ, Very good idea, this version will be a logon because it's big, and loud and gets attention.
But the wall shouldn't be that way, a little less in your face. Will post a new version later

You should make a tore up logon, that would be a nice addition, after making the wmp(nice one )
heck you should go for it and make a whole suite. That would be wicked
We know you can do it!

Good one bones It's an improvement I really like the right bottom now, has a foggy look, if you look to the left part you might discover the "vertical black/white bars". I would try right from the top left "head like form", to make the same sort of grey fogginess as in the bottom right corner. Now, if you think you like to add more colour you can think of using a dark blue ( transparant brush again, 80% or so) over the real dark area's, not everywhere, but here and there.
I really like what you did to the text, and logo, good transformation from static to dynamic Also now the eye wants to explore more. Keep on going Bones

Yes, that is looking good, Bones! My eye is finding more in the patterns. As Lecrayon says, it wants to explore.

No worries bones You are still the one that has to interpret it, and decide how to proceed. Your win 2003 was a joy, and so is this.

Bones, could you show a pic of the wall with the green replaced with yellow, so the main colors are yellow/black?

Yes that was a blast I enjoy working with others on projects, fun to see what we come up with. The title is in my name, but a definite community effort. Without everybody in it, it would probably be sitting on my computer still waiting to be finished. Too bad we didn't have more people's tags up there
