I definitely like the sans serif more than serif typeface. In #18, can you change my name to a sans serif? Also, I like where you're going with your idea. It looks almost cubist or a modernist painting. For right now, I can't seem to get past the colors. The blue and orange are ambiguous. Is my brand serious? Playful? Its hard to tell by looking at the logo.
I very much like the simplicity of entry #12. I like the treatment on "Eric Kayne Photography." However, I'm not sure what the backwards "E" says about my brand. That I'm backwards? Can you make it say something more along the lines of "someone who thinks outside the box"?
