Can't get top layer right

(Moved this from first print problems forum)

Appreciate any advice. 

I'm printing a 70x70x3mm square with a logo on it. 

My first layer is beautiful and smooth but I can't get the top layer right. It's very line-y and imperfect. Hopefully the photos will show what I mean.

Could it be under-extrusion? 

Any ideas what I can do to make my top layer better. 

I've been printing these squares for ages with same filament and slicer settings but this has only recently started happening. 

Thanks.

RE: Can't get top layer right

I'd say it looks like under extrusion.  Have you checked your extrusion rate?  What filament are you using?  Do you hear the extrusion motor clicking at all during printing?
