My logo...
 

I've been playing with some ideas for a logo over the past couple months on and off... I want something recognizable and something that can go from artistic (flyers, graphics, etc.) to something classy for business cards (I plan on having 2, one like the current one I have, seen here & here, and another just black/white 'regular' card), letter heads, etc.

What do you guys think? All comments criticism is welcome as I want to finalize this ASAP... I'm pretty set on the two designs below but if I can tweak them in a good way I'm all for it..

PS... if this is some how a violation of rules just delete the thread please... I just want some feedback before shelling out the cash for new bus cards, shirts, etc.. Thanks.

Looks very nice! The only thing I'd do is add a thin black line to separate the L from the AD... Right now it looks like S.A.D.

looks good!

where will the shop be located?

I don't understand where you're talking about? The L is separate from AD and they're both attached to the circle...

I'm going to still be mobile and do a few details at my place... now I just want to update my bus cards and website and have an actual logo as I plan on having some shirts, hats, license plate covers, flyers, etc. printed soon. I'm hoping to move into a shop within a year or two

Tractor never mind... the ones I posted are 2nd to last draft I have, and the new ones have the break haha... plus you made it in the one you quoted so I was thinking "wtf"... thanks

EDIT: here are the new ones...

Looks a lot better than what OP posted.

new ones look great!

Thanks...

Last set (for this week haha)... I made the L a bit larger and scaled down the AD since I thought the AD was too large before... thoughts...

Great looking logos. Have you tried having them at 90 degrees instead of 45?

Thanks... Looked a bit boring straight/normal and they're 30* now not 45... 45 looked a bit too 'normal' too... tacky, idk what the word is...
