And the winner is......?

So yesterday I talked about how I wanted... needed... to come up with a new logo and avatar for my shop, Oddity Owl Art Store.  I discussed my ideas about wanting to do a simpler version of the Owl sketch I had already made.  It was too much detail and I needed something smaller and easier to read. I want to keep the hand drawn illustration look to the logo, since that best represents the majority of my work. So I came up with 2 sketches.

The top one, I really liked.  It had the olive trees and the owl both shown, which was what I originally had wanted to be in the logo.  The bottom one didn't have the olive branches.  The less cluttered design was nice.  Even though I really wanted the trees in the design, it seemed like that design might be too hard to read at small sizes. 

After deciding which logo I liked the best, I drew a bigger sized version.  Once it was inked, I uploaded it to photoshop to do a few small touch ups.  Nothing too big.  Mostly it was just touching up the lighting and image size.  After the touch ups were done, it was time to find a font that fit with the picture.  I ended up not being happy with anything I had on my computer already, so I went and found some new fonts to use.  Ended up finding some really fun ones.

Here is the finished logo!

So... am I happy with the final result? I'm not sure! Hmm... The beak is a little larger then I meant for it to be, I think it might look better a little smaller.   I will leave it for now and see how I feel about it in a few days. :)
