What, you call these two big chunks logos? Just some font and a really crappy background picture isn't logo at all.
In classical terms, logo was actually only text that was shaped to be more illustrative, and no, it wasn't so much stuck in font. Today, a logo also means an icon which can go hand to hand with text.
I don't care about the name, I am no name expert but that shure is lot to call those to pieces of junk logos.... Think about it, logo indicates the pureness and taste of the band. Right now, specially considering that your band actually liked it, it seems your band is just a bunch of tasteless kids.
Shure, you are at the beginning stage, but I suggest you develope some style and taste first, then make or ask somebody to make a logo for you. You know what? In a good logo, every quarter of a millimeter has gone trough consideration, you have no idea what thought process good logos have had. Right now, these two so called logos can be a disgrace to your band, they are part of it you know, create the imago. Get it?
Or... Are you more talking in the terms of album cover?
It is hard to give some real critics because I just don't understand what do you want, a cover or logo, imago? Right now, the small picture is a small banner and the other one I can call a cover...
However, I can give you some tips.
First, don't just choose font by looking at it, you have to match it with surroundings also. In the first picture, it is hardly readable on that background. Second thing you should consider that it is not a very good idea to put text over whole picture, it results in lacking any focal point. I would put a smal text on the bottom, left side, and use red or white. Third: I assume you are aiming at something brutal. Well, that font just ain't gonna do it. You have a few choises with the font: one, to use some blocky arial like font, or two, use some minimalistic or modern helvetica type font and make the reading small so that brutal image makes the deal.
And the reason why blood on the first picture doesn't look quite like blood is probably because its too transparent. Also, dried blood is quite brown.
