Critique my logo

Critique my logo: Any suggestions, comments, proposed modifications?

On the back of the card did you mean to say "Inquiries", instead of "inquires"? I'm no graphic artist, but I think your logo looks good

Looks great! Nice business card

I take it this isn't a standard business card?

Is that green background part of the card? If so, you may have problems when the cut the cards.

I like the colors. The "MH" has a industrial look, yet the "swirly" is definitely feminine. I'm not sure if it fits though.

I like it. I'm not fond of the flowery stuff, but then I'm male. I know you're trying to soften up the branding a bit and I think it works. Without it, the logo feels very masculine.

The vertical line seems to get my attention to much. Maybe make it narrower?

I really don't like the typography on the back. It looks tacked on. I'd move the lines closer and shift them all the way over to the right and right aligned like your logo.

Have you thought about a vertical orientation for your logo? It works great horizontally, but there may be times when you need it in vertical. Your type will get very small, if you have to scale down with the same proportions. Something you may want to think about.

Thanks All. I will take some of the feedback and implement it. The branding is for my wife as she is starting a photography biz. Just doing my part to help out.

Here is my updates with color variations.

I like it, but think the big MH is too masculine for a female's card. It wasn't unti lI read the last couple of your posts that I realized why, you're a male designing your wife's card

. Soften the mh and I thin it'll be sweet

You'd probably get better feedback if you would post the JPG instead of a PDF.

Again, the border is going to be tough to do when the printer cuts the cards. I suggest not using a border.

Soften that "MH".
