I keep going back-and-forth in my head about whether I want a character-based logo or a more abstract logo. But if I go with a character-based logo, this is my favorite one that I've seen so far in the contest. It totally captures the light & playful element that I was looking for.
I really like your cartoony style, Ryan. I'm going to have a hard time picking a winner in this contest, but even if you don't win the main logo contest, I may be contacting you afterwards to hire you for some new cartoon characters on my website. Your stuff is just so damn good!
