I think you are off to a great start. Here are my quick thoughts. With the illustration having a lot going on, maybe the font for 'Octonaut' can be more simplified...a simple, bold sans serif? With the current font, notice how the weight of the letters is all over the place...just doesn't seem right. Also, maybe try reducing the size of the illustration. And have you tried giving the mask a reflection of some sort? All in all, a great start!! Good luck and let me know if you want any more feedback. :-)

Do you get to every logo before me Ocularink :) I'm going to agree, the logo caught my eye and I'm liking the direction. I would, in addition to many of Ocularink's remarks lose the shadow behind the eyes and the body as well. Consider removing the white in the eyes or making them smaller and possibly increase the size of the antenna. I agree that this has some potential and is really interesting. You may also consider this http://www.octonauts.com I'm a big fan so I thought I would mention them.

Thanks for the critique. I cleaned up the type weight and simplified the mark.**%3Ca href %3D%22http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/10393%22%3Ehttp://logopond.com/gallery/detail/10393%3C/a%3E**doc4 - yikes, those octonauts are great. i wonder whether or not thats going to be trouble for my brand... at least they aren't web dev firm!*
