The font is definitely interesting - I like the creativity that went into this design. However, we do want it to have "the" somewhere. Our logo is "The Youngrens" and not just "Youngrens". The font seems a little too thick to us. We like thin delicate fonts.
Also, we don't like the yellow color in the lime. Please keep the design to the green color we specified in the brief. You can include black or gray as well. Also, I'd like to see the lime be a little more feminine - it has a masculine feel right now with the sharp edges and bold colors.
1) Can you take the lime in #273 and make the "skin" part a little less thick, making the lime face a little more towards us? Does that make sense?
2) Can you take that lime then and combine it with the type treatment in #247? We like how you made the Y bigger and then had the R dip below the baseline. That's a unique take :)
