I think you've made a wonderful design here. Its really great and simplistic and you even did a good job with the colors. I think that I would try to even vary the dot sizes bit more. You have so many that are the same size as they go out to the branches, and you could even make bigger dots in the trunk area. Also I don't know if the dark background is part of the card or not, but if it is, I don't know if its necessary. But really a great design. Nice job.

So overall I really love your logo (actually the first one I think is best). Its simple and cute. I think the problem is what everyone else has said: the bird looks kind of sad or confused and small and cute, not really portraying the idea of unique fashion. Also I don't know why you've given a different color treatment to the two letter i's. They don't need to stand out, or if they are standing out for a reason, I don't understand it. So it just depends what you want for the client. Again, I think you have a great logo, it just may not be the best for unusual fashion.

You're going in the right direction. There's a few things that look like they need cleaning up. The blending of the guy's hair, there is a lot of white pieces. The gradient behind the words s too noticeable, and I feel like the green button bar is not too attractive. Perhaps toning back that green a bit would help. I really like the embellishments on the small photos, and the main gray background is really nice. Keep it up.

Are the e and the f two different fonts? I feel like they are clashing a bit. I think it would work better as 1 font. Though it does look pretty classy as is. I would still play around with the two letters a bit more to see if a more scripty font might flow better.

This is looking really nice. Lots of white space to allow the eyes some space to move around. I feel like since the words will be the first thing a visitor will read, it might need some rewording. The word "things" seems kind of vague and perhaps unnecessary. You could just say "with a knack for design." Also the next sentence starts with the word "Combined" and I'm not sure what that refers to. Perhaps its supposed to all be one sentence "I'm a web guy with a knack for design, combined with ..."

I dig the wood texture. As my friend says "Everything looks better on a wood background" haha.

I definitely preferred your BrightSpark logos. I guess I don't really understand the connection of the paper airplanes with getting design inspiration. Also the paper airplanes either seem to be not moving or actually crashing haha.

It seems like a lot of people are using grunge in the design of their websites for God. I don't think I really felt hawaiian from this at all. I think that big red star feels out of place and attracting a lot of attention. I think your main content area though looks pretty nice. I like the idea of having a gallery or video right there. I'm 22 and pictures and videos online are very attractive. I'm not sure if blogs are the next best thing to put. Maybe having an "Upcoming events" or "get involved" section or something might get people more active.

I like the font and colors are working well. I feel like the spark above the word bright, reminds me too much of a sun. I like variation 1 the best because it has a strong concept and works well. I think the white should have a bit more depth to it though, it feels a bit too flat, compared to the gradient on the rest of the logo.

I think its basically been said, but watch some of the kerning, and also when designing logos you have to think about where it will be used. If its just on a website then using the graphic of smoke works alright. But as soon as it goes into print the smoke is going to die. Also if its viewed as a small icon (perhaps a favicon) then the smoke won't view very well. Designing logos in black and white is how I learned to do it, though many now use all sorts of gradients and stuff so who knows.

I feel that this design is a bit too green. The colors are green, and photos of nature are used. I think that especially with words like "resources" the first thought isn't about a life coach. Also in the first card the silhouette of the lady seems like she's really small in the grass, not necessarily "tapping into her strength" But of these, I think the third one is the most professional looking.

Both sites really look nice and well designed. I actually prefer how you've given the images a larger size in the second one, but I like the use of content in the top area of the first one. I think you need to figure out if you can actually fill all of that text with real text because right now it looks great, but when the real text comes in, it might mess up the layout.
