The writing down the right hand side doesn't work for me - I am guessing it should read 'M DAVIES'? but it is very difficult to see and looks more like 'MDAMES'

Agreed with above...

As above - it is being assumed that the reader will make an effort & guess correctly.

Sorry but also agree with all the above

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll get back to my sketchbook. :)

Tried a more simple approach:

Errrr OK, tbh it doesn't "strike" me, I mean it serves its purpose, but what's with the fullstop?

I also agree with all the above but feel that there may be something worth explring in the negative space of the original logo (i.e. the semi-circles in the B, rectangles in the E and triangles in the N).

Agree with the comments about the first one and the second one isn't filling me with excitement either. I am getting pretty fed up of people using acronyms and there are SO many companies that do it we often find ourselves getting them mixed up at work for example - they're difficult to remember, at least stick with your name.

Sometimes, (not always) a logo needs to be something more than just a name written in a font. It's something you need to explore, maybe come back to just a font after viewing other possibilities, but I wouldn;t just start writing your name in different fonts, seeing how it looks, picking one and then call that a logo. Think of the image of yourself as a photographer that you want to portray. Give it some personality. Make it legible. Make it memorable.
