Kiwi Groove logo, under revision

I know this is my second quick post, but don't hate me! I need to finish this quickly (my finals are coming up soon) and any feedback would be nice.

The logo is for a website designed for music downloads. Here are three designs I came up with. Suggestions? What sucks? (I'm going to comment more, but school is quite literally killing me.)

I like second and third, though in second I'd have those green bubbles follow the shade style of kiwi-speakers instead simple gradients, giving them position in space, if you know what I mean. Fonts also bug me a bit, though I can't point it what it is that bothers my vision about it.
Hope it helps...

I think the general idea is fairly solid. Experiment with some different font selections and maybe simplify some of the elements a bit.

Just a small observation, but you do have two 'o's right beside each other (groove). A simplified version of your kiwi headphones could easily replace those two letters.

Good luck.

Agree with the two above me...I love the name because you could really incorporate like drums and dancing but I am not a big fan of the dull colors even though I know that is the color of a kiwi...so it is probably just me cause I love brights with black

I am actually digging the color palette - the font, not so much. I would agree with some more simplification and thinking about a black and white version. Sometimes a great color logo is almost illegible on a xeroxed piece of paper. Will you be creating support elements for the logo (website, letterhead business cards) sometimes I like to have that idea in the back of my head - thinking how these elements can support a wider range of materials.

You have WAY too much going on. Stick with the kiwi graphic with simple type. This will let your illustration shine and stand out.

why dont you try to use (in the first one) the headphones as the double oo ?

It's a good idea, but maybe the design needs some tidying up. Like changing the font to a cleaner one. That would give the design some contrast.
If you like the font a lot, try to link the graphic and the type, so that they make a single element, maybe with a stroke. Also try to change the font size.
The color palette is a good one in my opinion.

Hope that helps !
