Friends keep telling me that I need business cards. Being a cheapskate, I tried to make my own logo. I'd appreciate your ruthless comments before I print anything. Thank you.
I just posted a revision like this while you were probably typing your reply. Lol....the logo being between the words is off center and seems unbalanced. Maybe take that image out of the words and stack the words to the right of the image. It might give more balance to the logo.
Any chance you could remove the W on the Woodturnings bit, and try to let the stylized W work for both?View attachment 325383
I amended it a dozen times or more trying to improve it, and I'm not sure if any are an actual improvement.
Oh, maybe another idea...remove the W from the Woodturnings word. Then put a white W in the lower part of the nib

I've done one with a gradient green color that looks nicer for sure, but I'm probably going to need it to look nice in one solid color for pen boxes.
I was looking on Fiverr to see if I could get a professional to run with the concept for under $50.
I would recommend taking the W for the "woodturnings" out of the nib. To me it kinda takes away from the nib but overall this format is a little better looking to me.
For what it's worth, my favorite is the top one in this post - the one with the Nib in white in the bottom of the W with ADDLE and OODTURNINGS aligned with the W. I think it's pretty cool! - DaveThanks for all your great comments!
For $20 I got two logo ideas on Fiverr ($25 with fees and tax), based on my original idea. Quick turn around! Either of these have better balance than mine and look like good improvements to me. I get to keep both. But which do you like better? I think I get to request revisions before he gives me the copies without the water mark.

It's a side hobby. I can always revise the name and/or logo down the road if I need to. I really just want to order some pen packaging with my name on it.

Definite improvement and shortens the overall length. Will cause the viewer to linger a bit to see the first W.View attachment 325383

Thanks to everyone who replied and gave me feedback. I agree that the $25 on Fiverr was worth the money and I like the improved designs. I can't disagree with the fact that woodturnings isn't very well aligned with the pen nib. I mostly do pens, but I aspire to do things besides pens. I think 'woodturnings' gives me room to expand and maybe sell some bowls, tops, and birds...I just watched a video on making yo-yos. I do like the alliteration of Waddle Woodturnings.
I preferred the top logo over the bottom and asked the Fiverr person to swap out the W logo on the bottom one, giving me one more block square and one more horizontal version. I think this is the one I'm going with.
