Hey /gd/, I made this shitty first draft of a logo for my band

I think it's very telling of you that you called it shit 4 times in your post. It could easily pass for a popular band logo, it's not bad at all.

The thing which makes it look so obviously from paint is the low resolution and lack of "aliasing". That's what gives you those hard curves which you don't really want in a logo. If you did the same design in a program like Photoshop or Illustrator (easily pirateable) you wouldn't have that problem.

Another thing to help it look polished is just it's presentation. The text is in a dark colour and you've put it on another dark coloured background. Throw it on some white.

For your purposes you won't need more than a basic vector software package. You could use corelDraw or adobe Illustrator but I would recommend Affinity Designer if you're on windows as it's free and less of a hassle than pirating.

I would recommend the following changes
