The X is a traditional red barn design. If you look them up on you will see what I mean. But you are right it does look a but off from a design perspective. I might try just one white diagonal line instead of the X though and see if it works. Some of the barns are like that too.

Aimee used Adobe Illustrator to make the logo. I don't really like Adobe but most designers use them. They have a bit of a racket going.
