My comment wasn't meant to be rude, (although reading it now I can see how it appeared rude to the reader.) Sorry about that.
We get tons of graphic/logo requests here and most request-ees really don't have much of an idea of what they're after.
This is why we ask requesters to first answer the questions found on the 'stickied' link here:
Please read before requesting a logo
As for your logo, all's well that ends well!
We've all gotten some fairly good practice in and, as you state, you've got exactly what you were asking for.
Also, I've no problem with your original hand-drawn logo. I often ask members to scan a roughy of what they're after. It helps me out a lot.
Do you want the full-sized copy?
