Hard to read, try to tweak the colors on it some so it's not so scratchy and coarse. I definitely like the rough look of it but readability is always important with these things.

Made a few small changes. Im thinking about making it look neon but that might be hard to read.

Yo.. love your logo, reminds me of demo-scene logos from back in the good auld days.
I must admit some of them where very hard to read in terms of the text, I think in some cases the art factor of them overrode the legibility,  at any rate it lead to a wealth of interesting styles.

As it happens I posted this a couple of weeks ago in the general section, might be right up your alley in terms of inspiration/techniques.

You need to decide on a background. Neon isn't going to work against white.
Splitting the adjective from the noun doesn't strike me as good form, unless you mean for "Velvet" to be read as a subtitle: "Curse of Red: Velvet"
