Does it say - 'Varwan' ... if so - what does that stand for / mean? Also, the 'design solutions' looks terrible - either drop it all together or figure out a better font treatment.

Have you any other ideas? Sometimes it's best to show the peeps of K-Ville all your thoughts so they can better provide you with a full critique.

Its obviously not an English word (or a very uncommon one), so I would suggest making it a bit more readable. Also the kerning in the w an a are too close.

If it helps I also see Varwan. Have to agree "design solutions" looks tacky typographically compared to the top half.

It spells Marwan which is my name so if I take the 'design solutions' out it would be fine?

I still think that the 'M' shaped symbol makes the actual name difficult to interpret. It looks more like a 'V'...

Removing the 'design solutions' will not help any because the initial vibe I get from the 'arwan' type is not comforting or pleasing to the eye. i suggest you sketch out some ideas on paper until you think you have an idea that you are really pleased with, and then fine-tune it on your digital medium.

I think I'm the only one but:

'Marwan' + 'a'

I think go for a more mainstream look instead. It looks like the logo for an open source project, not someone I'd want to go to for design.

If it's supposed to be an 'M' you might need to re-think it all together ... I don't think I'm the only one that's looking at it as if it was a 'V' ...

I couldn't tell if it was a V or an M.

It really feels like you're trying to do too much at once. The elements don't flow cohesively and consistantly, but rather work on their own individually. When they clash, all these different things are distracting, so i'd cut down on it and go for a more uniform look.

The by-line 'design solutions' feels like it's slapped there too, and as the others said, it's a good idea to play around with that 'M' to make it more readable.

keep it flowing. keep it simple.

keep at it
