Not enough contrast.

We artists are indestructible, even in a prison cell or concentration camp I would be almighty in my own world of art. Even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell. - Pablo Picasso
Leaky is right.
I'd like to add, your i of fairy is to long. At least, for me. I read Falry (yes, that's an L).
Anyway you already aproved it and taken into use I guess so why post it here? Our critique is only going to make you feel bad because now you can't change it anymore.
thanks. the "i" is suppose to be a wand.
What's with the trend of apple style reflections on logos these days?
The whole point of the critique sections is reflection.
If you keep your ears open, you'll see better.
Genius! :)
These guys are dead-on today and Leaky's even being nice about it. A deeper shade of violet for the name would have done wonders for readability and you could have shortened that "i" some and put a star for the dot which would have led smoothly up to the fairy stars on top (which should not be touching the cupcake). These are minor changes that can be made now - after the approval, imo. Run it by them.
The good news is it does have a certain whimsy to it, so the kids will probably love it. And now I have a new word to throw around... "Cupcakery". Cupcakery... cupcakery... cupcakery... I love just saying that. Cupcakery. Okay - that's enough.
Cupcakery.
That's it.
I didn't have a problem with the "i" in Fairy not looking like an "i" and I got the wand association, but then, I'm a Pagan. I'm always seeing wands. Now that it's been pointed out, though, I nod in agreement, especially with what Art had to say about specific remedies. I especially agree that you need more contrast. If you do nothing else, please do that.
I think this is really cute. You did a nice job :-)

Fairy nice, but the purple has to be at least a 526 or 527 to be legible...hard to make out addy on cupcake paper.
