Interesting, but I have to say that the initials PK get lost in the design ... I wouldn't have know that's what it said unless you told me. I would revisit that twisty design and try to make the letters more pronounced ... or go with something entirely abstract and add a more prominent tagline. The font choice for the tag line you have now sort of clashes with the style of the logo. Other things to keep in mind in developing a logo: how does this hold up when it gets shrunken and how does it hold up when reduced to black and white? Logos get reduced to 25% or less for letterheads, envelopes, memos, etc. and often, the logo must remain legible and recognizable when photocopied. It's tricky ... logos are probably the only time I would sincerely invoke Mies Van Der Roe, "Less is More." Good luck - you're off to a great start!!

Cheers! Logos are prolly the trickiest area of design because they have to be so versatile - they have to be able to be put through the wringer and hold up. It's a beautiful piece of work, very slick and professional!

My pleasure! Getting another perspective is always so helpful! I love telling about this one piece I was doing for a coffee ad and I thought it would be a great idea to put a close-up photo of coffee beans into the background, at low opacity. My boyfriend (aka my art director) said, "It looks great, but why did you put a pile of dog poop into the background?" Yeah ... a fresh pair of eyes is sooooo helpful!!

Ah, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! I've been missing free-time a lot lately .. I used to have time to garden, to paint, to draw prolifically ... to think ... one day, the children will move out and I'll have much more time to do those things again. Enjoy freedom while you've got it, my friend!!

Unfortunately, like all creative fields, design is very competitive and very difficult to break into ... the recession sure isn't helping, either! Keep trying, keep looking and keeping working and I'm sure you'll find a way in! (and when you do, look me up - I'd love a recommendation, too! ) Good luck!!
