Logo Critique appreciated . . .

[stickyeye]

As a solo graphic designer one misses out on brainstroming, and valuable critique from peers so . . . Id like some critique on the logo i've designed for my fledgling business, just really wanting any input. (I've just completed redesigning it and it seems to be less busy? image on the right) So . . .

Thanks

The orange one is less busy and easier to read.

Much better...

but there is still a problem with the type.
Heavy outline -- difficult to read font.
