Ok, no lengthy explanations this time from me. Here are two versions:



I am aware of the watermark. I plan to buy the stock image if I decide to use it.

Obviously I am not good at this, so I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

Will you sponsor? :P Anyway, I am not looking for someone to do my work, just for some feedback. Judging from your response, I guess it sucks the big one?

Anyway here are two more:

the spelling hiccup is almost rage inducing... was that intentionally ironic :lol:

<edit>
the top 2 are far too busy.... option 2 in the second post works...

Spelling mistake? U mean the U?

On option 4, maybe a bit darker blue?

a) Too much going on, either use the hat or the scroll
b) when you do decide on an icon, make it abstract, using clip-art reeks of amateur hour
c) Times new roman is not a font, it is a curse, try Calibri or Helvetica
d) Stick to using 1 colour per text item. The black outline is pointless

How is this? (again, the character is a stock image, which I'll buy if I decide to use it)

"like" is a strong a word :P

But if I were to see that last logo on a website, I would not immediately think whoever created it spent 2 minutes in mspaint - and consequently, I would not immediately close my browser window :D

Just think: If there was a like button no one would have to use such strong language here.

Much batter.
Make the little man smaller, so that he is the same height as the letters, move him to the right side.
Take away the outline around the letters.
Bolden the tag line, tilt it and move it slightly away from the logo.

Win!

Just tilt the tag line the other way ( not \, but / ), and you are ready to go.
