The claws should wrap around the branch rather than sit atop it; they look 
very strange as-is, but simply cutting parts of the claws as if they were 
hooked under the red woud suffice. The red of the branch is a good choice to 
bring out the text, though.

The raven is shaded so heavily it doesn't fit with the text to my eyes, or 
the non-shaded branch. Perhaps a drop shadow to the SOURCE M GE letters, and 
a little shading on the branch? We do need a simpler, less shaded or unshaded 
logo too, if only for smaller sizes.
