Wow! Thanks for all the responses, took my time to read them all, I do love this place!
Firstly, sorry for making everyone hungry! You try growing up with my surname haha... Glad its going in the right direction, I do prefer it, its something unique to me.
And one more thing. I don't know if you intended this or not, but if you look closely enough, there's a definite G or B in the logo. If you could resolve this a little more to be a B, that would pretty much seal the deal with this logo.
I didn't really notice that, I just liked the curl on the swirl itself, I will try with the B, but I just like the natural element of how the swirl is formed.
Berry, just for you, I tried!
I will be moving the logo into flat colours only, two maximum as I really want this to be a strong mono logo, if I have time this evening, I will keep working on it, but now to pick up my halloween posters from the printers! (soooo excited!)
Finally...
thanks for this post guys, this is my first experience of a designforums work crit that has evolved and made progress right in front of my eyes. its really inspiring stuff to see all the creative ideas being bounced around and to watch the progression from mikes first idea to his latest version is just awesome.
Yes guys, thank you, there are very few places on the internet that I can go to get positive criticism. You guys are here to push us ALL in the right direction, and for that I thank everyone who has spent the time to give their tuppence worth.
