I've been designing a logo for my new web business, Panthr. Here's what I have: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/457680/logo.png

I have my doubts about the "r" being so prominent, but tell me what you think.

I think, without the r, it would look pretty bland.. I think it looks cool as is to be honest

I agree with WelshStew about aligning it.

But that looks really good! How did you do that panther, if you don't mind me asking?

I've been experimenting, and the panther looks pretty sexy in black. The text, however, does not. I'll keep on messing around until I can get it perfect.

One of my friends in a really good artist, so she drew it for me and I traced it in InkScape.

Ok, version 2. I aligned the text and panther, and made the grey darker. What do you think? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/457680/logo-v2.png

Definitely an improvement, the darker colour looks very nice.

Call me mad, but does that capital 'P' look further away than the rest of the text? I could be tired, or just insane... But... I don't know lol - it looks as if it should be moved to the right a bit...?

The darker text makes the 'r' stand out less, so I guess it depends how you want it to look. The darker panther looks so much better.
