Flay's Dump - Guitar Progress #2 [NSF56K, 17th September]

EDIT: The three potential finals...
#1
#2
#3
So, for university we have an assignment which asks us to create a logo using our two (or three initials). I've got some sketches, and I was hoping I might be able to get some general preferences as to which are better (if any), and how I may improve what I have. These are the very preliminary sketches - just getting ideas on paper - so they'll obviously be more refined in the finished product.
I know I haven't posted any art for ages, and to be honest, I wouldn't really call this art. The tasks we've been given so far have based purely on the fundamentals of design, and the results haven't really been worth posting. Also note I've only just started my design course, so I'm barely even acquainted with these fundamentals so far.
Should've brought my sketchbook up to my dad's so I could scan some stuff - thought it's been neglected of late. Oh well, comments?

that's your winner
edit: even the very first one on the first page seems not too bad.
I like the optical illusion one on the first page too, but I get the impression my tudor doesn't...

Agreed (we are talking about the negative space 'f' in the fully colored in 'd' right?). I also think the first one on the left of page 6 has potential, definitely needs some tweaking as well as the hour glass looking one at the bottom left of page 7. Not a fan however of the 69 looking ones, flows together well in theory... but it's too close to 69 in my opinion. That said, I do enjoy the middle one on page 4 - really clean.

I will flay you
because your name is Flay
Flay, there is maybe one design amongst these that I don't like. It would be nice however, to see some of these inked. I like the more geometric ones- the 3D ones especially.
Other people might flay my skin, but only you, Tam, will flay my heart.
The problem I'm having with this assignment is that it doesn't seem to be based around choosing a design that you like, but around second-guessing what everyone else will like. And since I'm not designing this logo to achieve a purpose other than look good, that's not particularly easy.

I like the first one on the third page, second row.
Eh, most of that space was filled up by variations of the same idea.
I should probably say a bit more about the brief. The focus of this stage of the brief is to experiment with five different composition principles: repetition/proximity; combination of elements; elimination of elements; fluctuating figure and ground; integration of a geometric shape.
The marking criteria for the final design is:

Opinions? How can it be improved? There's a good chance I might completely redo this one.
There's obviously a problem with the inner curve at the top of the shading of the D. I'll fix that now if I can, but I'm having trouble rounding that particular curve smoothly (i.e. without just guessing something that looks right using the handles). Any tips as to how I could?
Oh well, here's another quick one, that I'm probably going to redo as well.

Here are some quick ideas...
You should extend the line in the "f" all the way across. :winky:
Gah! Completely unintentional!
Moar...
I think I'm starting to get the hang of illustrator.
EDIT: Another quick idea.
DOUBLE EDIT:
More variations of an earlier design. I'll probably do more of these and edit them in here.
MULTI EDIT:
if you had a fishing company, you would be so set with that logo
also, #1 of the last 2 you posted, in my opinion, is better. your D is definite without the line yelling "HEY LOOK A D IS HERE TOO ALONGSIDE THIS F"
less of this
I've come up with two similar ideas which I like much more (damn lack of scanner):
Opinions?
*shrugs* I'm hosting with imageshack.
I can see those last two though, and I like #20 better. #21 looks like two d's or just a musical note.
Yeah what is up with that, I'm exactly the same.
This is by far my favorite out of the whole lot. Granted it needs a few adjustments, a little cleaning up, and what-have-you, but I'm really sold on this one. It could just be me, but I think that I'm right most of the time. Probably only like 98% of the time. But I still have a good feeling about this one.
The word "classy," comes to mind. Shit's dignified.

That's the one my tudor likes as well. She suggested I lay it out on the page to look like a paperclip, which I may or may not try. Can't see the harm.
Keep the round bowl for the 'd' or go with this straight edge? Longer or squatter? Straight or rotated and cropped? Opinions?
maybe that says something about me
