I agree with the others, as far as I would go with Michigan because when I first read the MI one I thought "my". I also agree that the python used for the "P" doesn't stand out immediately.

I'm sure you can do better than this, I just was bored and needed something to pass the time. If you like it, yay, if not, no biggie I just like playing with GIMP lol

Now, imo this image isn't a great "logo" persay. Because of the details in it, but it could be a pretty little graphic nontheless. Logo's you want VERY simple and to the point, easy to shrink down and still be recognizable.
