She looks angry.

It's because of the position and shape of the arc between the glasses, and the proximity of the white circles.

If you want to do glasses like that, I'd recommend you do some image searches for glasses, find like 10-20 different examples, create a rough vector silhouette of each, and study them to see what emotions they bring out.

In this sort of application, I think a 3/4 view might be more effective/attractive than head-on view... though also a lot more work. It's worth investigating.

(It's a little creepy to have someone staring at you from a business card, even if you do get the glasses right.)

They both remind me this - maybe I'm the only one, but it feels a little...hostile. But I'm sure it's because I liken it to the character in the movie, obviously not you in particular.

i have to say i agree... idk if that image is one you want to project to possible clients. it looks almost (sorry i have to say it) hitler-ish.
the font is ok for the bottom - the rounded font kind of matches the round face and glasses but it's weirding me out. are you selling your own look? sorry i didn't see your first post - this logo to me though doesn't convey any branding UNLESS you're doing something that will be specifically you: for example, hannah montana branded everything, they market her look because people want to emulate it.
can i have a little background on what the brand is all about? it might help me give advice :)

by the way i hated trying to figure out a logo for myself! particularly when, 4 years later, my style had changed, i'd grown up, and wanted a more "professional" image. logos, ugh! hehe

it's a big improvement upon the last version... i like the yellow streak of hair. the upper illustration is stronger i think because of the hair overlapping the glasses. not sure how i'm feeling about the face blending into the background though. maybe a streak of white from the empty square can trace the face a tiny bit.

the text is bothering me too. The text needs to be cohesive and more interesting. right now, it looks like it could have been added on as an afterthought. Maybe a more rounded font to echo the shape of the head and glasses would work better.

ugh logos are so tricky... -_-;;;;; i have problems with them, especially when i had to do my own for a school project. good luck! :)
