Ok first.....

Dont do the expected flares and flames. (it will get suggested)

Continue the Metal theme into the text.
Maybe find a cursive/script font and give it the metal look you have going on.
This will look like bent metal.

Then line it up with the side metals. Do a little ball under each letter, give it a little burn, looks like its welded on.

Do the separators the same as the 3 lines on the left, this way it aint over the top.

Hope to see the final image when your done

thanks man! i wasnt gonna do any more flares or flames cause they dont look to good with the metal theme. thanks for a bunch of ideas plus repped
