Hi Nicole, here is my first design for you - I like to keep things pretty simple, so having soaked up the pages you linked to, this is my take ... feedback much appreciated, thanks, husk.
Thanks for the design. I like it, however, I don't know that it's truly representative of me. I want more of a character here...kind of like benspark.com's logo only more girly and somewhat representative of my look. Did you see my photo at twitter.com/prnicolev? Love that shade of pink tho!
