I like the concept of #20 with the name of the store over the graphics. I would like the logo to show that we have a formal as well as a casual side to the business though. We will be doing a lot of wedding and business events as well as casual parties. I think if the fonts were different? I like having more than 1 font.
I like #40 very much. I think the word Invitation is hard to read though. Can you try to make the first letter "I" more readable. Also could you do a 2nd one with the word "Invitation" in a font like Copperplate or something formal, leaving the rest as is? This is great for a stacked logo as well. On my store the front will have a sign this would be perfect for. The back of the store has a horizontal sign. What would a logo like that look like in this case?
I like #41 a lot, as do my friends and family. I got some good feedback though that I am more of an Invitation store than a Party store and they felt "Invitation" doesn't stand out enough. Any ideas?
