The Sky Alts Emblem (Logo)

This is Something I've always wanted to do for myself when I started to mess in Computer Graphics. The Base idea of this started as I was listening to Empire State of Mind. This sort of happened on a mistake as I was learning Illustrator, but I liked it so much I couldn't delete it! This emblem takes a bit from all of the elements I like. A Speed feel, Waves for Sounds and Energy, Red base to rep a fierce flame, and a yearning to fly high in the sky!

While we all aim to hit our targets in the sky, unfortunately there are a lot of saboteurs trying to take us out, causing problems over one reason or another. This shouldn't be at all cause if you have to make it by hurting others, you are not living with honor! I say that we do work in our own way, smacking down those who try to weaken us as we aim for a new horizon. In short, This is my emblem, the Altering Sky/Alternative Sky (Sky Alts) Emblem:
