Logo: Top Producer Tour

I currently work for Asset Marketing Systems here in San Diego, and I regularly get the opportunity to design logos for our various products & events. It's fantastic, really, to get the opportunity to design logos so frequently! I love the challenge of trying to instantly communicate the essence of an organization or event or product with a simple (but not simplistic!) graphic representation.

I created the name and logo for the Top Producer Tour - a nationwide tour of some of our best clients, presenting the ways our company has helped them succeed. The basic concept is obvious: a necktie that's also a road!

How did I do? Is this logo effective? Could it be better? Leave me some feedback and help me improve!
