This is a logo for a hope-to-be within a while website/company where I sell my artworks (reprints).
I want an honest look at how you see it.
Try to picture it on the bottom of a card, In the corner of a print, and things like that.
I want it to be unique but I also don't want it too crowded.
You all buy things, cards and stuff, "would this catch your attention?" is what I want to know.

The Grey BG is only so you can see the flare part.

Moko,my honest opinion is: it looks super awesome with the grey background
its (almost) perfect and the best ive seen from you so far
the colors, the shapes, the 3D, the text effects, the concept

you could change the greyish lens-flare/bokeh opacity a bit
and maybe improve the flower some more
but its not necessary

now on the yellow-ish BG, it still looks good but not as good as on the grey BG

im not sure i understand what you mean with logo on a card...
isnt it too complex for a logo ?
how big are we talking ?

My honest opinion, I like the overall design but there are a few things that might improve the look.

1. you say it is to be printed onto the back of a card, therefore wouldn't the background colour really need to based around white, as a grey square on a white background might look odd.

2. the text for "love, hope & beauty" really all needs to be the same size and positioned along the same horizontal.

3. This one is more a personnal choice but the main text 3d I would be inclined for it to be tapering in to a vanishing point in the centre of the image rather than just offset.

Although the colors are catchy, there is something I don't get immediately when looking at it, those love, hope, beauty symbols (are they idiomatic? that would explain..) makes me perplex.

Offsetting is the obvious choice in 2d editor I think, going for one point perspective might be more tedious, tracing the grid, representing light and shadows (a little understanding of Blender speeds up the process immensely). Anyway, I'm also on the 3D side, the day I discovered perspective, I was hooked, even if it's really time consuming.

mokonafan: beautiful work as always, moko! you've done a great job on the three symbols and i think the whole logo looks very representative of your style, which is important.
i agree with he4rty about putting the three symbols and the text under them on a straight line. personally i'm a bit tired of 3-d text effects and i liked it better just offset, the way you have it. then i think it's a little crowded for a card company logo, i think maybe it would look less so if there was more space between the symbols and the main text lines and the "love, hope beauty" could be made a bit smaller.
good luck with the webshop, it looks very interesting and i'm sure greeting cards by you would have a market!

Ah okay.
La Esperanza means "(the) Hope" so those things that go along with hope.

Fixed the texts and played with flower.
Also I lined up the images and changed the "prints and greetings" edging, and took out the flare part and just allowed the star to shine.
It's transparent how it would actually be used.

I like the rust/cream theme and the general layout.

I'm not sure what an ss is.

The art itself looks good, though! As a banner, I think it works well. It's very catchy, and a good representative of your style. It fits well with the page scheme in your example, too.

As a logo, well, one question about that. How large will the logo be printed? If you're planning on placing this logo on every print, it would have to be scaled down - probably beyond the point the text would be readable. As a logo, I'd suggest something much simpler. A logo is usually something that can be scaled down very small and still be recognizable.

Depending on the scale of this business, and how long you want to keep it going, your logo is also something you may want to consider registering as a trademark.
