Opinions please on logos - updated with computer question, help!

Can you ladies please look at these logos and tell which you like? I'm leaning towards a certain one, but I'm not going to say so I can get an unbiased opinion

1.

2.

3.

4.

Thanks for your help!

Liz

See my latest post for computer question about the logo......

Hee Hee What about the artwork from #1 with the wording from #2? I'm doing this myself so I can play around with it.

I didn't even notice the difference in Mothers and Families. I agree I like Families better.

I changed it to this:



What about the color? Is it too harsh in black and white? I don't know what else would look nice but still be readable.

I got the graphic from istockphoto.com (royalty free pictures you can buy for pretty cheap) and I'm using paint.net as the editor. The program is a little confusing, but its a free download and is similiar to photoshop. I can't afford photoshop, it is WAY too much money for me! I thought I'd give it a try myself before paying someone to do the logo.

I like #1 and #4. They are two very different directions though. Number one I think clients would respond the best to. Number four is the most graphically impactful. Whichever you choose I think you need to make the text part of the logo larger so it is balanced with the graphic. If you choose the mom/baby line drawing then it would be neat to see the "Lily Doula Services" font in a color but keep "helping families grow" black. I'm a big fan of having taglines in a plain text font too. Meaning "helping families grow" would be a non-fancy font like Arial or Tahoma. It gives emphasis to the main business names and is more readable when shrunk down to fit on a business card.

I like #1 but with the phrasing "Helping Families Grow".

I like #3 best. Color is almost always better. #1 is nice but kind of plain.

I like 2 and 4.. 2 is a little busy but really pretty, and four is plain simple and elegant!
