The logo isn't bad, but think of something besides "graphic designer" for the text.

The F eats the S pretty much totally up. And could you post this on a white background?

It looks like a bunker on the beach of Normandy or a robot helmet. I would try somet different designs just to see what else you can come up with.

I like the simplicity, and it will work when scaled such as in use as an .ico for a website. It is lacking something as a graphical representation of your work as a whole, however. Apologies I don't have more of an opinion in this matter, I can't seem to put my finger on what's lacking and the only thing that really comes to mind is that the colour choices aren't particularly striking...

Reminds me very much of the StumbleUpon logo - but what makes that logo work is its depth and vibrancy. At the moment yours looks very plain.

I can agree that it kind a missing something, but I cant figure out what, thats why I posted it in this forum, I can try with gradients, but im not a fan of gradients in logos.

You should never use gradients in logos, ever At least that's what the textbook says :P

Im thinking it would look better with a stroke around the circle, in some color, the circle being white, and the FS being the same color as the stroke... Let me know if you didn't understand that and I'll make a quick sketch to show you :P
