I am doing normal mode analysis of a logo

my problem is that after running the analysis all the components deform excessively. I don't know what is wrong with my model. I appreciate if you can help me

 *** INFORMATION # 2406
 There exist gap/contact elements and linear analysis SUBCASE(s).
 For linear SUBCASE, the gap/contact behavior depends on the
 initial open/closed status and does not change.
 
 NOTE # 1090
 For better node-to-surface contact results with 2nd order solid elements,
 you may use PARAM,CONTFEL,YES.
 
 *** WARNING # 2617
 CONTACT interface 1 has 5122 Slave nodes that belong to some of
 Master segments, indicating likely self-contact condition. This may result in
 poor quality of contact elements, redundant contact conditions, and patchy
 pressure distribution, especially on curved contact surfaces.
 For FREEZE condition this may create an almost rigid surface.
 
 *** WARNING # 2617
 CONTACT interface 2 has 5127 Slave nodes that belong to some of
 Master segments, indicating likely self-contact condition. This may result in
 poor quality of contact elements, redundant contact conditions, and patchy
 pressure distribution, especially on curved contact surfaces.
 For FREEZE condition this may create an almost rigid surface.
 
 *** WARNING # 2617
 CONTACT interface 4 has 18550 Slave nodes that belong to some of
 Master segments, indicating likely self-contact condition. This may result in
 poor quality of contact elements, redundant contact conditions, and patchy
 pressure distribution, especially on curved contact surfaces.
 
 *** WARNING # 2625
 CONTACT interface 4 includes areas that have self-contact condition
 and apparently pre-penetrations. To avoid detecting false pre-penetrations
 (which may appear across thin solids with self-contact on both sides)
 declare SRCHDIS smaller than minimum thickness of respective solids.
 Or, if it is known that there are no true pre-penetrations in
 self-contact areas, use CONTPRM,SFPRPEN,NO.
 
 *** WARNING # 2617
 CONTACT interface 6 has 1287 Slave nodes that belong to some of
 Master segments, indicating likely self-contact condition. This may result in
 poor quality of contact elements, redundant contact conditions, and patchy
 pressure distribution, especially on curved contact surfaces.
 
 *** WARNING # 2625
 CONTACT interface 6 includes areas that have self-contact condition
 and apparently pre-penetrations. To avoid detecting false pre-penetrations
 (which may appear across thin solids with self-contact on both sides)

 *** INFORMATION # 742
 The dependent rotational d.o.f. of this rigid element is removed.
     RBE2 element id =  2531227
 independent grid id =  2701564
 a dependent grid id =    10676
 This is because there is no need to constrain the rotational d.o.f. of
 any of the dependent grids.
 
 *** INFORMATION # 742
 The dependent rotational d.o.f. of this rigid element is removed.
     RBE2 element id =  2531236
 independent grid id =  2701573
 a dependent grid id =    99484
 
 *** INFORMATION # 742
 The dependent rotational d.o.f. of this rigid element is removed.
     RBE2 element id =  2531237
 independent grid id =  2701574
 a dependent grid id =    99705
 
 *** INFORMATION # 743
 The total number of rigid elements, whose rotational dependent d.o.f.
 are removed because there is no need to constrain those d.o.f., is 10.
 
 *** WARNING # 6325
 STRESS is requested above the first loadcase and there are eigenvalue
 loadcases. Stresses will be calculated and output for all eigenvectors.
