I got that domain yesterday, and I think I'll quite flezed.com to go to that one. So I did a pretty fast logo.

Any suggestion on the symbol and typography?

[edit v2]Thanks for moving the thread.

I think you need to rework the logo. It looks very random and the typography is kind of dull.

Random? I think that the presentation could be better made, but I really like the concept, which is to show a kind of evolution to the fire.

I sortof understand the concept now. I think it'd be better if it were more detailed.

Please explain how it shows the evolution of fire.

I think it you need a lot more work on the typography, do you really need the .com with it? fire need to be spaced out more, the kerning is too tight. Also consider not using a different font, use the same font as create and make it bold and italic if need be to stand out, don't use a different font.

The positioning of the whole logo is wrong too, the images are either too big or the text is too small.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't explain myself too well. I didn't mean evolution, as evolution means changing something, I should have said creation, to fit the name, so the name/text complement the symbol.
The two circles represent the development, the white one to go with the text color, to link the symbol with the text, the orange one to link the white with the fire, and finally the fire symbol, but keeping the circle inside of it to link it with the other two circle. So I've positionned the symbol so it's continuing from the text:


But while making this image, I remarked that to improve that movement, I should maybe put the symbol on the other side, to follow the left to right reading of the text:

So in this one, I tried to apply a bit of what you said, I adjusted the kerning, resize the symbol and used the same font. But I've just added a little bold to the fire text:


And now I think this one looks better. Any suggestion or objections about the changes I've made?

I thank you a lot for your comment Julian! You really helped me go forward with this logo .

I definately like the last one
What font is that?

Maybe the "i" and "r" are a little too much apart, try to move the "r" just 1px left.

I'm not sure what to think of it, i think it looks a lot better than it originally did but i think it looks generic, you see huge amounts of logos which incorporate the leaf shape nowadays.
