Hi Waveman! Thanks for jumping in! :)
I really appreciate that you are showing me a "badge" style logo option, too - everyone else seems to have forgotten that was one of the two styles I'm interested in. ;)
I think aesthetically this is pleasing overall, but it feels more like a logo for a greasy-spoon diner/restaurant. I also don't want the words "food blog" in the logo.
I'd love to see other ideas, especially conveying food/health/delicious in some other graphical form besides an eating utensil.
Thanks!
