The words "LittleOwl" should be one word, not two on your designs. Can you please update the ones below to reflect this. :)
#27- we like the whimsical feel of this one, but we'd like the word "letterpress" added into the design. Please make it the same length as LittleOwl. #28- we like the little owl character- very cute and this would be easy to letterpress. Can you make the word letterpress the same length as the LittleOwl part? #32- we like the writing feather in the design because it reflects stationery, but it's too large. We don't want the character element to overwhelm the name of the company. Can you make the word letterpress the same length as the LittleOwl part? #35- we're not sure if we like how giant the word "Owl" is, but are intrigued with the word Little inside the O. Can you make the word letterpress the same length as the LittleOwl part? #33- we like the spacing on this design, but prefer the owl in #36 with the eyes. Can you swap those out? Also, can you lengthen the word "letterpress" to be the same length as "LittleOwl" #39- we like that you tried two colors in this one. We like the idea of the owl in the circle above the words, but the owl may be too dark when it's letterpressed. Can you try a different version of the owl? Also, the circle with the owl seems a little too high. #38- we're not sure if we like the words LittleOwl on two separate lines, but maybe. We don't like that the letters are touching between the lines Little and Owl- can you put in a little space between these lines? We like how the owl is incorporated into this design, but again the owl may be a little too dark and filled in. Also, the owl needs to be one color- even the eyes- it's easier to letterpress a character when he/she is one color.
#186- we like the flourishes on the top and bottom and that you spaced out "letterpress".
Maybe you can try a few designs with swirly text. Please refer to http://shopantiquaria.com/#!design-studio - Specifically we like the thickness of this font and the swirls.
