the top needs a better perspective to improve readability.
the 2nd line logos need balance because the "D" is too much heavy. kerning is needed too.
the left one has Penis Factor inside.
yes I'm brazilian xD
sorry, but this is all really bad.
the top one, aside from the gratuitous perspective which makes it largely illegible. reads as iuDESIan
the bottom two, the D is WAY too big relative to esign. and the i is horribly out of place.
start over. nothing to work with here.
wgzn nailed it. back to the drawing board.
sorry

Terrible. Reboot.

None of these even read "I Design".
"I Design Your Desire" sounds more like an interactive porn site than a graphics company.
On all 3 logos you're trying to be too clever with the 'i' and it isn't working. Start over.
Skock is busy sewing on new button eyes after ripping them off after 1 glance at image.
Stretch out a little - be adventurous.
Here is the revision of my identity logo,
I see music notes with ties, an information icon, straying paths, a very stretched little person and an alien.
Okay so what are you trying to convey with these? That "I/ you design"? Anything else? You've got the black and white part of logo making down, now make it memorable, simple and follow good design principles.
Also, I just re-read your original post and it's NEVER a good idea to design a concept around a slogan because nothing else is working. Slogan's change, logo's should stand the test of time.
LOL@the misspelled one in the middle. i Desing?
+1. It's one hell of an overlooked detail - almost beyond belief!
>> Cookie cut the chaos >>
equally bad. but in a whole new direction.
seriously man, EVERYTHING youve presented is just plain HORRIBLE.
simply by the virtue that you spelled design, desiNG in one of them. i'd say that maybe this isn't the best career choice for you.
but before i commit to that, tell us about yourself. have you had any actual design training or are you very young and / or self-taught?
These are even worse and the mock Apple "iDesign" is tacky as well. Before I tell you to quit as well, do you have any formal training or are you just a hobbyist?

tl;dr: a logo must be describable, memorable, effective without color and scalable
good luck!
"just started my B.F.A in Graphic designing"
ahhh. its all much clearer now. ok, so then a lot of this is to a degree explainable. what youve presented is fairly typical of someone VERY early in their educational process. youre shooting for "neato" rather than for a "good mark"
even so. i do have to ask why the middle one is spelled desING?
"I've been incredibly stressed not getting enough guideline and facing lots of failures"
students often dont see the value of the exercises they are doing in their classwork.
when i was a sophomore in college (1989), a lot of us were complaining that we were doing too much pen on board type work and not enough computer work. but when i got into the "real world" i found out that i was a better designer and had a much better eye for typography than many of my peers.
so have patience, it may pay off.
Thanks @Wgzn spelling mistake was a big blunder i apologise for that.
It looks like no more then 6 mins were spent on each. Start in your sketch book and go from there.
If you enjoy this work - you WILL find a way to make a living in the field. School is theory... the basics to get your foot in the door. So don't sweat it now - just try to learn.
That said - I like the one in the lower left corner. It has a certain Twilight Zone feel to it. Separate the "Design" part some, put a little shadow on that guy and you'll be entering Dali territory. It's a starting point.
