Some suggested that I use one sparrow to make it more elegant. What do you think?

Someone made the suggestion that one bird is good enough. I agree.

I think I do like it better. With only one sparrow, it really brings attention to the illustration.

It caught my eye but I feel the overlays and geometric shapes don't quite work with the solidness of the rest,The top half looks great but the rest leaves the bird incomplete, half abstract,half solid?

kinetic said:

Thanks Logomotive. I purposely transitioned to an abstract to add movement, interest and uniqueness. It's not unheard of in branding. The New England Patriots logo does this same thing.

personally i like the blend... have you tried placing the bird at the end of the word sparrow?.. just to see how it would look?

I agree with dsigns and nido, placement of the bird could be better and the end or beginning.

Excellent logo. Tough, I relay 3 previous comments about layout. Would really like to see the bird on the right (or mirrored on the left). About type, what about creating some swashes/ligatures with ascenders/descenders (mainly R's oblique, W and S)? Just a humble suggestion...

@kinetic, I like the logo, but what is your deal? You're constantly anchoring designs with no supporting comments or reasoning.

i have questions for you. do you know where i can get free tutorial for illustrator online? how do you make the shape so smooth? i tried to make my pen tool design smoother lines but i don't know the function of illustrator too well.
