EDIT: Here is my portfolio which took me rather too long to put up but finally have done!

At the end of the day, I am not a professional artist nor have I been educated into graphics so personally from beginning to currently I believe I have improved massively.

I, personally, love them. The background fits them all and the shadowing is spot on. Just, what are the dimensions of each individual one? I can't quite read the small text on them.

10/10

Thank you everyone!

@-ToastinYou I did try get it to fit sadly it didn't work out to well, the dimensions for each of them are 2000x400, only because it ends up looking better.

@LiamC- Thank you, it means a lot hearing that!

A bit much on the display for me, lol.
Only one I'd say looks decent is the 'Illumes Designs 2015'.
The rest almost look all to random and a bit cod-ish to me.
Just random shapes made out to some-what be a portrayal of the name of the group/letter,
without showing any real representation of what the company/group/individual does.
(besides the text next to it of course)

Also, the effects on the logos themselves look very strange, kid-ish in a way.
The grads stick out, while the shadows/strokes look pixel-y and rushed.
Some of them don't even line up, and just end up sticking out like a mess (Freshmotion).

The text stating the company/group/individual
on most of these are almost all placed in very strange positions, and are pretty much identical in style.
(pretty sure thats just for the display though, at least I imagine)

And honestly, you're starting to have me question your originality.
Some of the pieces are beginning to look all too familiar..

Watchin' ya man..

With designing as you know, everyone uses the same 'style', for yourself as an example on 2 pieces/logos used a very similar fashion e.g.

It's the same/similar style, rushing into things is what I do, I imagine the piece in my head and design it sadly whilst doing so I forget what I am doing in the process,lol.

As for the 'codstyle' reference, the reason behind that is because it's for that man, that's just like going I want a logo for football but I want a rugby ball for the design just doesn't make sense.

The first image/used in my avatar previously is executed perfectly, like dare/soar, darth etc they all represent arts, with it's on style, a 'z' inside of a 'z' which is actually quite unique in it's own way.

A logo isn't just letters as what you have used to, a logo can be anything which the imagination limits some people to do so e.g. a lot of other members who constantly post era stuff with tragic overlays etc.

You can't say that none of the others represent them either; lets say these values out at point to basically explain myself;

To me and quite a lot of other people they represent what they are; simple designs with extras.

Yes you are very correct about some of them being random shapes, for that they are and I admit it but I did make them look nice;)

Do not take this in the wrong way, I am not trying to start an arguement about this as I have agreed to most things but some of the stuff you have said are wrong, neglecting the designs due to it being 'kid-ish" thank you for giving me some decent feedback, like I asked. Have some rep.

Sorry, I figured you'd know what I meant by cod-ish, let me elaborate.
What I mean by codish is that it looks poor and rushed, with very little thought.

As much as I'd like to agree with you in saying I've established a style, that's untrue.
The pieces you've pointed out were requested as so, 2 different clients taking a liking to a similar piece I provided as an example of my work.
I provided many examples and mock-ups for them, but those a the ones they picked overall.

I don't need you to tell me what a logo is, or a logo "Just being letters like I'm used to".
First of all, I'm not "used to" a logo being letters, my work is not only letters, and I could very much straighten that one out.

Also, don't try to correct me, then use the exact examples I was referring to in thought.
None of the examples you provided argue my statement in any way.
The "Salli" logo, shows and represents nothing of clothing, it only appears to be a stolen style of a word.
The team extra hardly shows anything else either, besides letters with poorly added curves.
That goes for about 7 of the other examples you've provided as well. And no, they don't look nice.

Oh, don't take this the wrong way, but that wasn't a very good attempt in covering that one up.
The words you somehow managed to string up together only somewhat prove that you see more in "your" work than what is actually there.

No need for thanks, no need for rep, it isn't appreciated.
