Brief from client
Client wanted a logo with Halloween theme to it. He also wanted to incorporate a pumpkin and a masquerade mask.
Color Palette:
Halloween colors with a gold texture on the actually masquerade mask

This logo is aim toward a family demography
Edit: I talked to client and recommended a another direction for this logo. I went with a more simple look. This is what I came up with, any feed back would be great!

I love the image. My one feedback would be to kern your text so the spacing is more equal between the letters.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on the spacing in between each letters
I would suggest not using clipart even if altered or combined. Once in a while maybe if it's just a one shot inter-company thing like a holiday party or something, but otherwise no. I like the Phantom of the Opera reference, if you stick with that I would pick a mask that looks more like it and less Mardi Gras. The loose font conflicts with the slick stock art and as was already pointed out the kerning is way off - OC TOB E R. COS TUM E S - Over all it seems rushed.
As I side note, maybe try for more whimsical approach if you are trying to appeal to family buyers.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on this some more.
Is this pumpkin really a clip art?
If yes: just don't. Ever.
If no: good job, it's nicely crafted, but it's a bit too illustrative for this kind of logo. Simplify drastically.
No it's not clip art. I totally agree with you. Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to start sketching some more design and see what happen from there :)
If you had someone create it for you they used this vector from Getty and just changed the size of the cutouts.
Edit: I feel like I should clear something up, I'm not trying to call you out or shame you on this. Some of us can spot stock art a mile away. Like I said before there is a place for it, just not in a logo, if your client spots it or worse a competitor using the same art, it kills your reputation. We all have a learning curve. All of us. We all started some where and had lessons along the way, some easy, some hard. They all make you a better designer.
Thank for information. This pumpkin artwork was given to me by the client to use for this logo. I'll talk to the client about this artwork.
