Aaron!

Here's your design with finishing effects, and several closeups for detail. The outer type has a pseudo-metallic-neon-backlit treatment. The maltese has a slightly red body with a leathery texture; if the body remained black, it would appear hollow because the overall head is black. The central scene has subtle embossments, the lake has slight waves and cross-currents, and the bridge and tail end of the boat appear in foreground to the landscape. All yellow elements have been given a dramatic shiny metal look, and the overlap of elements around the belt buckle area came off really well. The lower banner is in a more antique color, including a slight patina and engraved lettering.
The earlier version is at the bottom.
