Business Logo Concept - Need Opinions

[Ran]

So I'm looking to open my anime store here in the next year or so, with the online store opening even sooner if things keep working out the way they are. I'm currently designing a logo that's attractive and, yes, "cute" to appeal to the fanbase. Considering how a majority of anime revolves around cute characters and what-not, I need a logo to reflect that. Here's what I've put together so far:

Original Sketch


Color Pallets (Concept Design)


Final Product

* Colors Not Final

I like the overall design, but am looking for constructive input on how I may be able to improve the it. All help is appreciated.

You best put Crazy Asian, JM, and Nemmy in there. Or else were gonna cry and petition your website. LOL looks awesome now add anime character around the R but dont over do it like 3 should do fine.

It's not established yet so I'll wait until I finalize the paperwork to answer this question.

The Gaia "G" was a source of inspiration as you can tell by how the "R" loops in on itself. I was on Gaia few years ago so the image kind of stuck in my head. The wings on the left side are based on the logo and designs seen in Cardcaptor Sakura.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I should have some other color pallets and what-not up before long.

Wow, I really like that color swap. The colors blend well to the outside border and I think the black helps contrast the colors and bring them out a bit. Nice dude!

lol oh jesus

the "R" kinda reminds me of the naruto's konoha symbol

[bandydesign]

in your initial drawing the curly looks painted (like a brush stroke) that is very reminiscent of asian (japanese specifically) culture through the traditional written art. I think the brush stroke texture would look good on the logo, however it would need some reworking.

That was actually more-or-less continuous scribbling with a pen.

I think about the brush stroke thing though. This is just a concept for now. I'll be trying other styles of the same logo.
