    Hi Robin, you seem to have a good concept behind your design, but I feel it can be much better.

    1. Choose a new font. The font you have used here is too overused in the design community in my opinion. Take some more time looking around places like dafont to find a good font that has not been used so much.

    2. Don't put what you do in your logo. You shouldn't incorporate a phrase in your logo if it is not done so properly. Putting a phrase below your logo without it being incorporated into your overall design is a bad practice that seems good, but really takes away from your logo's universal appeal.

    3. Work on spacing. Your letters are a bit too close. Add a pixel or two between each one.

      Overall, this is good first try at your logo. Here are some tutorials i found helpful when I started to redo my brand's logo. Hope they help you as much as me.
