    I like the top 2 designs. The first one with the script...can a little bit more space be put between the cross and the letter "h"

    I think with the cross not touching the "H" is better. Do you like it better?

    Have you tried making the cross the color of "to do with it?"

    I like this design, Showed to my daughter, she would buy it . She likes the top 2 designs also .The youth group kids would love it.

    I like the top left most. It feels most fluid and joyful to me, which I think is what you are trying to portray. The top right is 2nd but the "Everything" font feels a bit too commanding and bold.

    simply make them thicker. Which will mean you'll need to use less lines to keep the look.

    Does the site have a certain template size for text across the shirt? Most of the designs I do are between 9 1/2 to 11 inches wide. So this design with the font "akka" if it is sized lets say 10 inches wide ..does that make the lines thick enough?

    I typed out Whats love got in the akka font sized at 10 in across....the skinniest line in the "w" says it is .4167. above you mentioned thicker than .06 if it is .06 than this .4167 should be ok?

    I would check into some fonts that might be close to this but thicker lines , have you done any searching yet? When I have a client that wants a certain font and it just won't work, I ask the client what is it about the font that you liked, what is it about the font that catches you eye. After finding that out we both do a search based on key word description and toss around a couple of examples and end up with a better design because the client took the time to think about what it is/was they liked and wanted. This doesn't work for everyone but for most yes.

    I do not sell my shirt designs. I design for a couple different companies, one a screen printing/ sign company another being an apparel manufacturing/distribution company and other freelance/contract work

    The bottom two don't read as well as the top two. I personally like the top left, the cross stands out more which lends it more weight. Nice work.

    Try making the cross a BIT thinner. On the first one, of course. I think it's the one working best. Also, try to aligh the first two lines, what love got to do with it. You already got a color mismatch and also trying a font size one can make it a bit confusing. It also depends on how dinamic you want it to be. Tell me what you think.
