I do notlike too many strokes around the letter. Not specifically on you logo, but in general.
Also,in Graphics, "r" looks like "n" and letter "s" looks like it is a lot smaller and as a part of a different font. A bit hard to read too.

You already have a somewhat complex logo with the font choices you've made and with all the added effects, you only make it that much more difficult to read. Just looking at your smaller thumbnail, it's hard to easily make out the word Graphics. Less is more. Don't get so caught up in the bells and whistles when a blind man can't use his ears to see.

Not a bad start bro. Might just want to tweak some things. No clue what your fonts are but here's a quicky example of mine. Adjust border thickness a bit, improve contrast, maybe use colors as just compliments to a firm black and white combo?

Ideas...

I love the top copy and shading aint crazy about that raggedy script, I like more free flowing BUT that is my opinion

I like the top but think "graphics" should be easier to read. Thank you for spelling graphics properly, the gaffx/grafix/graphix stuff annoys the hell out of me.

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
Passable if you were opening a tattoo parlor, dreadful for a sign shop. Try again.

Art! Hot and fresh.
Follow flames suggestion as a starting point.

Cutting the bottom 1/3 of your 'KRC' off with a hard to read script with a drop shadow on it is a bad design decision. Just because you can add an effect to a graphics shop logo ... doesn't mean you should.

That being said, start over, design your logo in black and white (it will help your brain process design easier) and make the logo work without cheap effects like drop shadows ... because afterall, you put that on each side of a vehicle ... your lightsource won't be coming from the front on the driver side ... I can't describe how much that irks me ... it's like having an arrow in the logo that goes from left to right on both sides ... one side it points at the back bumper, the other at the front bumper. Makes for sloppy design work. And change the 'graphics' font, it looks like a freshman college kids attempt at a 'SICK FONT' for his typography class.

I dig Flames ink splat top copy...

You have so many opportunities here, you should have ideas all over the place and this would be low on the list if you really give more effort on other concepts. The "Graphics" copy is too hard to read...

I would set this aside for now and come up with some fresh ideas. I think 10-20 rough ideas is very possible and then whittle them down and develop the stronger ideas from there.
