I am contemplating using a new logo/signature for a online photo gallery and was wondering what you guys think about these possibilities.

Feedback is much appreciated.

I can also make these as transparent background .gifs as well. Just used these backgrounds so they stand out better on this site.

Well, I think all of them look pretty childish and cartoony. I don't know if that's what you're going for or not?

Observations of the logo mark:

The first one, your eyes look dead.
The second one, you look angry.
The rest, you look drunk or like a clown.

Your typography is too tight, the font could be a better choice and personally, I don't really like the implementation of the logo mark. Honestly, I think I'd keep trying. 8-)

your crop in those is pretty sloppy as well, have you considered hiring a professional?

I'd pick number 2 if I had to but I don't like any of them.

I appreciate the feedback. I had thought that I could play off of the Mr. Bill whimsical aspect but what I had envisioned in my head apparently did not translate well to the computer. :o

I might go down that route later on once I start to get better at photography. Right now all I would be doing is using the gallery for friends/family to keep up, not for professional use.

I have changed things up throughout the day and decided to do away with any logo and just go with simple lettering instead.

I appreciate everyone's feedback so far. :cool:

I picked #5 b/c it's the best of the lot, but I don't particularly like any of them.

I'm also not a fan of the font - it's a little too cartooney. Glad to hear you went with simple lettering instead!

I'm feeling kinda artsy tonight, PM me what kind of feel you want in it and I'll give it a go.
