Default Logo feedback please
Hi everyone,

I can't decide between 3 fonts for my logo. Can you please take a look and let me know which one you prefer? Could be in terms of readability, ease on the eyes, prettiness, etc. etc. If you have any general comments about the logo design, feel free to share. Thanks!

Gee, what a beeeooouuteeful logo! Did you do that? Wow! I like the first one, definitely not #3. The type in #2 stops the movement of the graphic, so there's a tension, a dynamic, know what I mean? In #1, the type makes the same movement as the graphic. So, I don't know. In a way, #2 is probably more eye-catching because it's more dramatic.
How's that for critique?

I like #1 also.

I just shrunk it down in Photoshop and the tagline gets hard to read if you use the logo smaller than you show here.

Maybe don't bold that part?

Thanks for the feedback!

I've noticed that the tagline gets hard to read, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. I'll keep playing around with it.

Mary Ruth - Thank you! I created this with the Logo Creator, and it's been a work in progress for several weeks now. I'm not a graphic design person, so it's been tough for me to get it to look just right, 'specially since I don't really know how I want it to look! lol I see what you're saying about the type in #2 stopping the flow of the swoosh-y graphic (which I like because to me, it symbolizes the stroke of a pen when writing). But I also think the font in #2 looks more clean and modern, and it's easier to read when I use that font as the text for my business cards and letterhead. But, I am still leaning more towards #1. Decisions, decisions!

Tammi, I too, like number 1 but would suggest doing the tagline in a solid, darker color, with no outline - that might help with the clarity issue when you resize, etc.

Also, unless you're going to be doing your site in a grey background, maybe try the logo on white - or even a much lighter grey - just to see how it looks.

Nice job! It's always great to see VAs taking the initiative with things like logo, etc. When it's done by you, your personal style and even a bit of personality shines through, which is a great touch.

Hi Tess - good idea, I will try making the tagline one bold color and see if that helps. As far as the background goes, it started off as white but I thought that was a little too harsh. It's strange...when I created the background, it was much lighter than it shows up here. I'll play around with it some more tonight, see what I can come up with. Thanks for the input!

I like the font in #1, I think it fits the overall style of the logo the best. Great job on the logo!
