Profane and profane accessories.
- Since you asked, I'd change that font on Hillside Terrace.
- Consider a different font for "Mobile Home Park" and correct the kerning.
- Your colors (on the mountains) are going to be tough to see on a white background, so keep that in mind.

I agree with GaSouthpaw...

I also think...

-- The colors on the mountain are too light...
-- The typefaces look too "signshop"
-- I'm assuming this is going on a sign, the copy running through the mountains would be hard to see
-- Putting MOBILE HOME PARK in an enclosure might work with a different typeface but the enclosure is an odd shape and you are wayyyy too close to the top and bottom edge. Give it some space.

Honestly, this looks like stuff customers bring to me and ask us to "re-do" and make it look better. Start with different fonts for sure.

I don't see the need to turn this into a logo contest for you, but let's review some of the things to look out for when doing something like this.
  • Don't fritter away 1/2 to a 1/3 of your space with a silly drawing. It's useless wasted meaningless junk.
  • Use a type style that can be read at a glance.... or distance.
  • Logos will have multiple uses, so keep that in mind.
  • Proportion means everything, don't overpower anything.
  • Keep a well balanced feel to the entire logo.

Personally not a fan of clip art in general including this. There has got to be better mountains to use or that you can make that look less like a kids sticker. I do like the text going through the mountains though better than on top or bottom. Would change the font also like others have said.

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
...Consider a different font for "Mobile Home Park" and correct the kerning....

Unfortunately the only thing correct about this mid-air collision is the character spacing of the 'Mobile Home Park'. Since this type face, as do most Roman faces, works far better in upper and lower case the character spacing when it's all caps can look a little strange but typographically it's correct. Just because your can use digital magic to slide things around should not be license to do so.

The entire effort is a sign, not a logo. Regardless, it's dreck.

there's a disconnect between the mountain/hill the name and the band with the park lettering. it looks like three different ideas. try pulling it together, get rid of that font as it doesn't work. I assume this is for a sign so try setting it onto a shape so that you can see how it will look. have you tried a colored background?
