Colour Exercise

Above are some examples of me playing around with colour and what I wanted orginally thought was going to be my final logo design, after playing around with it i realised that the dots in platypus were lost when scaled down. But this was when i decided on ocher orangey/brown and the blue which was influenced by the Australian sky and ocean. In my final design the platypus is solid and the text is also solid which i think works well together.
