Anyhow here it is

Dravens Halo

Since you asked in another thread.

The colors of your text are what jumps out at me. There should be more contrast between the different hues. You can use darker colors to give more contrast on the white background. That's what I would do. I would use a more mainstream font for the logo and I wouldn't do the tie-die thing. But again, it all depends on what kind of customers you are trying to attract, that's why I've been saying "know your audience". Also customers that are sight impaired may have a hard time reading your text.

The pattern along the side would be ok then probably if you simplified the rest of what I mentioned.

There is a lot going on.

Just my two cents.

Thank you for the feedback Wade - it is always welcome! I have taken your advice and darkened the font to a dark blue and the tag links to a royal blue (instead of light royal blue and light purple)

i am very over the purple at present - i am hoping that the photos i took yesterday will turn our - because i took some especially for the middle area where i have the purple flowers. that way i can get rid of the purple shades - (i am not a fan of purple, but it seemed to of worked for a while) that way i can get rid of the tie dyed purple and have either blue or green with a slight darkening of the colours - from top to bottom...

As for the Logo font - i really love this one - do you think if i left Dravens Halo in the font and changed the word photography to something different???

the other font i really like - i cannot work out a nice logo with it ;o(
