Having said that, I feel like I lose a lot of the life/character in the original logos (to the left) by the time I break it down to the basics (to the right). Any recommendations?
On that note, I was only making them huge for my own sanity. It's much easier for me to make a large image and then shrink it down than make a small image larger without significantly compromising the quality.

I really like #5 with the blue background.

What do you think now?

Agree to disagree. The last couple look like sock puppets to me. I think a redesigned head is in order if I go that simple.

Added the name to the top. It looks pretty sweet as the lock screen on my Samsung Galaxy S3.
Side note: DANG this has evolved a lot since the original idea.

I agree much better. The only thing I see is the word "morphs". Because of the color it is blending in with the blue background. I would either change the color of "morphs" or move "Gemini morphs" up a little to put a little space between "morphs" and the blue background.

Re: Logo - Just Messing Around
I agree. Much better, and much more graphic. With the text, I think outlining the words and maybe making the black "fade" into the blue, or vice versa would look cool.

I agree that something needs to be done with the words in this example, but I'm not sold on just what that is yet . Personally, I like how "morphs" overlaps "GEMINI" (honestly, I had it overlapping more earlier) but I can't figure out how to get it to stand out better. I don't want to add yet another color to the mix, so I'm looking for other options. When I get home I'll play with fading a bit, but I'm thinking that'll look out of place since I have block colors everywhere else.
Any other ideas for the text? Thanks!
Eric
Edit: I just had another idea for the text that I want to try out! Too bad I'm not home for another several hours to see it in play...

When I first start brainstorming logos, I try to get as many different designs together as possible. I see you have done a lot of iterations of the same basic concept just with different colors/slightly different line work. This kind of thing should be done once the logo is really finalized, much later in the process. If you are just starting a design, don't go for the first one that looks just ~okay~. Really get those creative juices flowing. Even a simple google image search for snakes or gemini might help spark some ideas.
Try to think of something completely different than what you have been doing. I don't think it is a bad logo, but I think there is a lot of disconnect between the gemini symbol and the snake face. They don't relate at all. In my opinion, a logo doesn't really need a foreground and a background. Its all about Meshing your brand with what you are selling. In this case, gemini with snakes. You could totally abstract the gemini symbol with some snakes and I think it would look awesome!
