The ident really is not clear and the text is too fancy and obscured by the ident. If anything, you seem to be getting further away from what you seem to be after.

How about taking text like Toon has kindly done for you and developing your previous ident with that?

I understand constructive criticism, but then their is bashing. I took a look at my first two examples from others point of view and I did see what could be changed.

I also looked at some of the examples others have done that were shown to me, and to be honest most looked like a kindergarden kid developed them or I could not read them at all, I also put into consideration "simple" there are logos out there in the world that work, or that grew on you so there is not a science behind a logo creation.

As for Toon example, it appears as a ball and it's not something that personal repersents me, it maybe what toon would use to represent toon, but not me.

Thank You to some who helped me things a little clearer but I'll find something that works and that I like.

I don't mean to be harsh but you're obviously not a logo designer so why not hire on to do it for you?

I don't mean to be harsh either and I know I'm new, but the how do you expect to make a sheep represent you? (Unless of course you are a sheep, then you type very well)

Why?
What does a logo designer have that I don't have?

I can.

you simply asked for our opinions and we are giving them. Don't get so defensive. This is all merely constructive crit and not bashing.

I don't think anybody is bashing here either. Although art can sometimes be objective, there are still principles and elements of design that are constant, and can make the final piece better.

Check out this article and this article from our fellow Esteticanier, Jacob, about logo design. Some good stuff there that might help you out a little.
