self branding ideas

here are some ideas that i have started some have potential, but dont have the right feel to fit my personality.
After trying to draw out some ideas with the hand rendered approach, i felt like i wasnt going anywhere, so i took too illustrator and would try diffrent font and play around them and the kerning, tracking etc to change the look and fitting

this is what i have started so far on the computer

here i tried quicksand, simple,legible and friendly font that looks welcoming.

i tried this in different way i could, trying to play around with it.

Here i tried to use the  the loops in the letters 'a' and 'p' to make a face

i then thought it wasn working out right or giving the right feel, so i tried different paths, bold and sophisticated look and carrying on with the quicksand font. 

i tried futura, i think this works but doesnt feel fitting to me, so again i began to play around, using a prominent capital M as a symbol and

i went back to quicksand and tried this style together, i felt like it is working but there is a bit much on for a logo and the more simple design to the right of this is looking plain and very formal, making me not be keen on the design. 

i found that putting the designs in to a circle it made it stand out and also carried on the welcoming friendly feel that the quicksand font offers, but makes the design more outstanding and bolder.

the logo needs spacing with the graphic design and my name to make each bit stand out.

logo works well in any colour, legible welcoming and sophisticated, looking professional.

choosing the lighter diffrent hue of pink is my final logo, which i picked from colour lovers, its girlie but  different colour pink you don't see alot and is a colour which is current.

it works at any size constraint making a successful loog.
