Logo Mockup

[Sonolin]

Hello... I'm a web developer, who mainly focuses in the programming of web apps (not so much the design). Therefore, my design skills are kind of.. lacking. Take a look at my portfolio site - hopefully it doesn't make your eyes bleed too much ;) -> http://designandprogram.com/

I think its time I start to improve my design skills so I can code more than just basic templates (which are usually replaced). My programming is great - I can program just about anything that a client would suggest. But you can only go so far as a one man developer without decent design skills.

I have made a mockup of a new logo that I will base the template of the site around... It doesn't look too bad IMO..... but I would like your guys' input.

How does it look? Any help would be appreciated.. I was about to just stop and use this for my new site but I'd rather get some input first.

I have attached two logos, one with two glow thingies, and the other with just a subtle one on the bottom. I'm leaning towards the second.

Here's another logo without the splash on the "d"

Hmm, out of all them I think I'd have to agree with you on the second, but I feel like the swish/splash thing(s) don't do much for the design.

The text alone suffices the design. That swish does nothing like googles. Also, it would be easier to include in a favicon than to attempt to think of something that includes that neon line.
