#41- Interesting concept. I think splitting the text helps it read better, although I'd prefer a different font. The friendship star idea is interesting--haven't seen that before. Could it have a shooting/streaking effect like the Up with People logo?
#42- Not quite what we're looking for. I think the lines are maybe supposed to represent music lines/ledger lines, but I think they look more like water. Overall, it looks a little beachy with the sun, "waves", and the star that looks kind of like a starfish. I think it's a fun logo, just not quite what we're looking for.
per request. There are a lot of great fonts that work with this logo I like this one because it is bold and readable while still having some fun element. Agree on the other one - play with shapes. thanks for the feedback.
