So let me see if I got this right, the following parts are not made by you, but rather are finished resources:
  • Corners
  • Center Piece
  • Side swirls to the center piece.
They all share the same quality, well almost anyhow. (Though I can buy that you pen-tooled the center piece.) The reason I hardly believe that you pen-tooled/drew this is rather simple. Anyone with the talent to do so, would also have the talent to make a triangle without messing it up. Something, you haven't been able to do. (That is apparent when you look at the top inner light of the triangle.) The swirls also looks like something you'd be able to get for free off DA. (Well so does the corners too.) Now that is enough butchering about that, let us talk how the finished product looks regardless of how it was made.

The overall shape of the UB is a bit strange, it has no real clear shape. For some reason, the "light" at the bottom of the triangle is further down than the corners and the top has two lines for some unexplained reasons. It ruins the flow and weight of the element. Next we have one other thing that bothered me oh so greatly. The use of 2 different wine red shades. (This is probably because of the use of a overlay effect to create the glow.) The difference is clear when you look at the main middle horizontal bar and the ones surrounding it. Next up with have the absolutely worst part of the design, the center-piece. More so the layer style of it. Where as the edges look like ornament decorations from royalty, the middle center piece looks nothing like it because of the random stop in color because of the inner glow. It looks awful, and ruins the entire feel and flow of the UB.

Also, why is it named "Savage"?
