I like this logo a lot. It is unique and has a nice hand drawn feel to it. The only thing that might be an issue is the legibility of the name, more on the “Tees” part because the “s” is so big. Other than that, well done.

I really like the text as it has the look of embroidery thread. My only concern with this text and t-shirt are in two different styles. One way you could unify the entire logo would be by drawing the t-shirt in same style as the text. Perhaps the new t-shire could simply be an outline drawn in red “thread.” Or it could be outlined in black “thread” and filled in with red “thread.”

I’m sorry to disagree with the other reviews given, but let’s be honest, this logo fails to work on any level. There are numerous sites offering basic advice upon logo design and I feel very strongly that you should at least take a quick glance.

It needs to be a lot more legible. simplify the graphic…try to communicate the idea with less. If you’re going to use script, then make absolutely sure that it gets read within 3 seconds.

reducibility, legibility, quality, composition, sustainability, appropriateness and execution suffer greatly in this logo. This is nothing personal to the designer, but as one- sometimes it can be. Is it Kinky, Kunky, Kunkes?? Is that a cloud or a tree at the top? Why does the dominate leg off the first K touch the bottom of the next letter? Why does the t-shirt look like a smock? Why Red? Why tentacle arms? What is so “it” about illustrative children’s art? “It” is relative, but within realistic borders. I think (and maybe just I) that this logo should be scraped entirely. It fails on all levels except it can be printed.

The illustration of this logo is great, I wish I could illustrate like that. However, it doesn’t work at all for a logo.
The name is difficult to read, and at smaller size (shirt tags, business cards, etc.) I imagine it would be practically impossible to read - as well as see what exactly the image is of.
You’ve got a great thing going with the shirt and squiggly lines, but I would recommend simplifying it dramatically more.
Chose a cursive font for the name, something not so “curvy,” a script font would work well. Then try taking your illustration down a few levels, get rid of a lot of the details in the design - you may even have to start over from scratch.
Good luck on future revisions, your creativity is perfect, unfortunately the styling is not.

I like the personality the logo exudes, but it is not legible.

I actually really like the way you did the lettering and would scrap the t-shirt part of the logo, it’s not necessary and it detracts from the cool lettering.
