Kerning seems fine, a nice trick for kerning is to turn the design upside down, giving you a fresh perspective and stopping the language part of your brain from interfering :)
If the o was as thin as the rest of the letters, the kerning would be perfect, and I think legibility is better this way, keeping the kerning as if the o were thin. :)
hmmm...not the most inspired design. I agree that the kerning is off. Is there something you can do to convey a location other than this overused marker?
Lennard is right, I used that trick almost 15 years now and it almost never played tricks on me. Another trick I have been using for some time is to print and / or view it both very large and very very small. Particularly the latter works best in my cases.

One of many options for a logo. Still a WIP but it's for a company that has to do with bus gps installations.
Is the kerning ok on this? Sometimes I just can't tell from staring at it too long.

Looks alright. Like the colors and that grey is used instead of black.

I think the kerning is a bit off. such as the r to d is much tighter than the g to y. same with the r. Just little things.

Thanks for the tips everyone! Sometimes it's still just nice to have a fresh pair of eyes.
