Hey, this can cut either way, but my initial lean was towards #2 because having the butterfly out to the edge makes it look a little less like a butterfly. However, once I'd decided that, all I could see on the butterfly in #2 were the letters M & D--don't know if that is just me needing more sugar or intentional on the designer's part. And while I really liked the butterfly as a butterfly because it's clean and pretty and not a froofy butterfly, now that I have MD in my head I think it looks less clean now.
It is entirely possible, and probably likely, that it's me.
No its not you LOL....its actually supposed to be a butterfly made from my initials MD, for Misty Dawn.

Great insight though, thanks!
Thanks everyone for your input.....its so helpful to get other opinions on this stuff! This is such a hard process to narrow it down to ONE logo! But we're getting so much closer!! I'm excited!! Any other thoughts, please feel free to add!
