If you were already thinking of improvements and changes, why don't you make those. That way, any help we offer will be much more targeted.

It doesn't look like a sheep, and are you really going to have your logo appear at that scale on everything? What about business cards, letters, etc?

As you can see, when you scale it down, it begins to look a bit of a mess:

Calm down, we are all only trying to help mate. No on is telling you to remove or change anything, only suggesting. You can, based on the collective knowledge of the forum and it's members, chose to accept or ignore the advice.

The thing is, you have made a stab at it and its a good spring board. The issues are about the 'the' and your name, which you admitted had been placed on as an afterthought, hence why they feel so. Play around with the placement of these things till they just seem to gel together and site right.

My only thing with the sheep is it is not rightly clear and obscures the 'C' making both unclear and illegible. Maybe if you created a little more space under the arms of the sheep as it is now and he was a little smaller, the sheep would work a tad better?

No I understand, well I have a design in my head what I'm going to change in the logo that probably will come out stronger, some logos are simple primitive shapes or symbols but sometimes there just text with a simple object within the text (as in my case). I will apply the changes and post a update.

This is. in essence, true, the symbol is often a strong ident, auch as adobe's 'A' or the nike 'Swoosh'. Or apple's 'apple'. These are however designed as stand alone items that both work with and without their supporting logo text. As for text with a simple object within it, this is another route, but one that must be excuted clearly to avoid illegiblity of the logo

I'd definitely loose the 'Christopher', much more catchy without.

Also, if you want the text to look like a silhoutte, don't put a keyline around it.

Maybe choose a more creative typeface and enlarge the 'C' in relation to the rest of the title.

Just some suggestions.

Good luck.
