#1-#3: I wish it emphasized the "pediatric dentistry" more. I feel like people really have to look carefully to see what it is besides a "Winters".

#1) I like the smirk/half smile on the tooth. I like the gradual shading from color to background in the tooth itself. I like the size of the font of "pediatric dentistry". i would like it to be a bit more darker in color /larger/prominent, so it's an obvious part of the name. I don't really need the gradient/shining effect on the letters.

#2) I like the blue background, and think something like that would be nice for a a web page, like title banner, but how does it translate to print, like on a business card/letterhead?

#3) I really like the green toothbrush with light blue toothpaste. I like the arm holding the toothbrush - it looks strong, like he is a tooth with strong muscles (i know that sounds crazy, but I like it.). I like the white background. I can't decide if I like the gradient shading or not.

#4) I like number 4 quite a bit, but the consensus here around the house, is that the "wpd" is not as cute/effective as smiling tooth W. The colors are great, but the visual is not as striking, i guess. I do like the relative size of the "winters pediatric dentistry", all being equal size. and i like the stars. it is easy to tell that this is a pediatric dentist office in words, but not by picture.

i think i would like to see a combo of #1 and #3: white background, smirking half smile tooth, gradient on the inside of the tooth, green toothbrush with light blue toothpaste, darker blue lettering with maybe a mild gradient, but nothing too shiny, larger size of "pediatric dentistry", maybe a little darker so it is more readable.
Is there a font that is more similar to #4 font that would work with smiling W tooth?
Can you make a variation that has "smiling W tooth-winters" with "pediatric dentistry" in a similar sized font? like #4?
