I agree with Ben grab a sketch book or use Illustrator, to come up with lots of ideas in black and white, develop what you already have.

Some great designs, I prefer the most recent work to your older logo's. It looks as though you have been more creative in your designs. Are these for real clients? What feedback have they given you on the designs?

I like the layout, clear and easy to navigate through. The only thing I'm not sure about is the light green colour choice for the background for the main text, especially when you put it next to the lime green and blue on the 'Participate' page.

I agree the '9' piece of work is very creative.

I quite like what you have produced here, can I ask what you specialise in? From my perspective it looks as though you are painter/illustrator or something related. I like the way ou have created what can only appear to be a pen or brush design coming from the letters.

I agree with Squiddy, the images are not right and the whole thing looks lifeless. Are you designing the website as well as creating it? Look for some inspiration, you want people to stay on your website and enjoy the content.

What a fantastic website, some really amazing work. Inspirational. Good tip about the sketchbooks as well, thanks.

I quite like the background image, however the whole website feels quite dark. The layout works well and it seems as though it would be easy to navigate through.

Number 1 for me hands down. It's clear, concise and the rounded 'shield' background gives it an approachable feel which is highly relevant for the audience you are targeting. Placed centrally at the top of your website, it will have a distinct and striking aesthetic.

The idea is nice but I agree, the execution of the H/F effects legibility. Also, personal preference, but I would use a straight cut font rather than the hand written style you're using. I think you'd find the mark automatically looks cleaner and more precise.

Bit of a industry secret but Market Samurai is a fantastic tool for google rankings and key words. But shhhh don't tell anyone!

If you really want to achieve that effect, try hand illustrating the characters.

A good logo should communicate the business' core values in a simple and concise manner. It should be flexible enough to exist in many different visual circumstances (website, letterheads, banners etc). It should also be contemporary in style so that the visual aesthetic can have longevity and...

I really like the overall design, it's simple and modern. However I'm not sure on the choice of font, (Futura Bold) but as you said you think you may have to stick with these so there's not a lot you can do with that unfortunately. Is the font choice the clients, as you could show them some...

I agree the shape of the logo does not seem to represent what the company is selling. I agree with Levi that it should be more like a pint glass, tanker etc, however you did say they sell other products? What are they? Are they relevant enough to be put within the logo? Has the client asked for...
