I like the way the lettering blends into itself. Not sure about the hand though could you vectorize it more so it's more of an illustration??

yeah, i would look at using a more illustrated set of fingers/nails.

they would look better and also transfer into other mediums easier

maybe look at different colour's unless they are set in stone

Much better, I think the hand can be simplified even more, to the point that it only looks roughly like a hand.

Design doesn't have to be stating the obvious. Many logos are made up of images distorted so far from the original but these still become brands.

i'd try with the darker tone for the box, with the hand and text in the lighter tone with the white square around the hand.

i think... i've just confused myself there.

ok: peach hand, peach text, white square and dark peach background.

No I don't think the colours work as well.

This is the best

I like this one best, but the hand just doesn't look right. Have you got any more vector images of hands. sunny

that was what i meant but it doesn't work so i'll pretend it wasn't

i'd have to agree with Toon, that colour combo works best

I think reading the comments above, the hand isn't meant to look right.

Agreed the first colour scheme works much better.

Yeah, I prefer the fact the hand is distorted it's less obvious it's what makes a logo and an image two different things.

I think it's come along way since the first post why go back to trying to define the hand again??

I've just created this to show you what I mean. Not sure whether it will work or not, just an idea.

It's a nice image but I still prefer the old colour scheme with more white text.
