I like the mark, seems like the logo is broken up into three elements though. I see the bird, spiffy and sparrow as separate things. It could be a little more unified by picking different typefaces that work better together, and like orlio said, the mark might be too small in relation to the type; you could probably adjust the placement of the mark to the words too. I think you can take it to the next level with a few tweaks. But, very nice regardless.

steve-oc said:Beautiful bird, but is that a sparrow? The proportions are wrong for that bird. As has been said, make the bird bigger, lose the shadow and lighten the type and it will be perfect.

NOMADESIGN said:I think the birdy does need the wing in the back and the nose and eye... and as everybody says lose the shadow and thinner more neutral typo to let the bird sing.

clashmore said:Sorta feels like you re-used a mark that you had designed for another company (one with hummingbird in the name, perhaps?)

But since the client loves it, Congrats for a nice logo solution.

ubikdesign said:liking the bird illustration and colour scheme, just feel that the type needs to be slightly lighter, to stay in proportion with the flight of the bird. Good job though!

DAdesign said:I have to agree with many of the commenters here in that the bird looks like a hummingbird - I think more because of the pose and the tail. Sparrows don't hover like that. Also, the shadow is distracting and the weight of the Spiffy would work better a little lighter (slightly, not much).
However, I disagree with those that say that the mark should be larger. I think that it may, actually, be a little too large.
I can't imagine what kind of company this would be for. How would the logo work in one color, or will it always be printed in 4 color? The gradients would not read well in small scale either.
Overall, I like it a lot. Very striking.
