liked but please no strange reflections anymore in this life again
Ronaldo! xD
Love the font you used for your name, not so much the serifed one. Also, imo, a graphic designer and a commercial designer are the same (if you would even use the term commerical designer) Pick one and lose the ghaslty reflection. Don't you find this one much better?

At first glance it looks quite professional, your name Chelsea flows nicely in that font.
I would clean up the type a bit, the crossover form 'c' to 'h etc.
and as said definitely lose the reflection, it will never work with a scripty / hand-drawn font.
Small text and serifs make for difficult reading.
As leakypenny said, 'commercial' is unnecessary.
living on dreams and custard creams.
There's a little crossover on the 'r' and 'n' that could be cleaned up a bit too.
Also I find that the little simulated ink flicks on the 'i' and 'r' and a little bit too exaggerated. I find that they draw my eye and create tension in an otherwise simple and effective logo.
+1 lose the reflection - it isn't adding anything to your logo.
Well I'm glad to see you folks are getting along again. I already commented on this in the other thread - the one with the flame war. :-\
Chelsea, I agree that your "graphic and commercial designer" doesn't make sense. You are either a "graphic designer" or a "commercial designer," but not all three. Some of use don't even like the term "graphic designer" because it's redundant. And "commercial designer" sounds too much like the mid-20th century term "commercial art," so it sounds a little fusty.
You should not use a reflection.
Are you all in the same class, you people coming here with your names, a line, and a title all similarly presented with reflections? There seems a certain sameness to the "artwork" being posted, and the general tone of the posts.
