Default Help picking logo

I am working on creating my own logo. I don't have the funds currently to pay someone to make on for me. I would love to get some feedback on the ones I have created.

I really like number 5- Did you create these in Photoshop? Would you mind giving a tutorial?

Actually hipmom I used Paint Shop Pro, I do have Photoshop but I am not very good with it...lol I used the preset shape tools for the hearts and the circles. And the font in the 1st three are Kozuka Mincho Pro I believe and the other three are Champagne & Limo. I am still very new to all of these programs but I am poking around seeing what I can come up with.

I like # 3, simple yet professional.

I like number 5, the circle lets you work a colour into all your branding. There's something not quite right about the font though, I think the kearning could use a touch up and it might be the font or just the compression, but the "e" looks like a slightly different size to the rest of the letters?

Also you could try using a slightly different colour / shade for you surname to your first name?

Other than that, I'd recommend doing everything in vector rather than bitmap - I've got no idea if you can do that in paintshop or not???

Otherwise, great work!

Personally, I like the clean lines of #3, looks more "professional".

The font is making the "e" bigger. I was slightly bothered by it also. Thank you for the feedback.

I'm with #5, for the possible color branding, but the 'e' looking larger COULD be attractive, if was slightly (noticeably) larger?

Combine 3 and 4: Use 3 as a tag, banner heading, etc. Cut out the text from #4 and just use the circle section as a logo on letterhead and other things.
