Still working on this. I think I have decided to use the version resembling my hand writing because after talking with 5-10 of my friends, they all agreed that it was more "me" than the MetroScript version. I am still working on refining some of these letters (especially the P), but really need some help figuring out what I should do with "Design." I can't seem to find a typeface that works well with this. Any suggestions? If I can't find anything that works great, I think I may use my hand writing for design as well.
@Yassine, Yeah I need to work on it. I'd rather not separate the t and the l if I can make it work because I really like the play between "tler." I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback.
Andrew, I really like this. However I agree that it can be misread. I read both "Panther" and "Partner". Since your last name is not super common, I'd probably try to work on readability a bit more.
We had a similar struggle with the Fixel logo and had to work on several revisions to ensure it was quickly readable.
I'll finalize this eventually...Worked on varying the line weight and increasing legibility. Next need to work on overall balance of the mark and adding in "Design." Any suggestions, I'd love to hear 'em.

It looks like "Panther". Try to clean up the "u" and the "h".

@Kostandinos. Yep, working on the cleaning up the "u". That "h" is actually an "l," so I may need to work on that too. :)

I think if you work on that 'tl' connection a bit it would be much more clear. Maybe have the T stand alone like the P?
