#1, #2 and #4: thanks for the fast reply.

#1 and #2 remind me too much of an existing logo (I can remember where from) especially the font.

#4 I like the simplicity of the silhouet, But the font is to "fun" it could be more serious.

In general, seeing as it should also be on clothing labels, it would better not to have too much small details. (the clothinglabels can be printed but we may choose to embroid the labels, so simple/large forms are best.

Thanks again for the fast replies!

I really like #5, but could you make the design a bit "thicker" I'm afraid that when embroidered the thin lines will be lost.

#6 and #7 use the kanji, but the first character is in a different style then the second one. The second one is much thicker. It would be nicer to have both kanji the same.

#9 I like the feel it gives, but I'm not sure about the bird. It's maybe a bit cliché. Also, it doesn't refer to Sohei.

#13 I quite like,but would it be possible to see a different one where the lettering is under the caracter and the width of the base.

#12 is good too, but maybe in the font used for #13?

#4 is replaced by #13

#14 I don't really like the wordbreak on such a short word
