Logo Ideas

I have been thinking about coming up with a logo for myself. After doing some drawing I decided I would try to combine my two initials together to make a unique shape.

I came up with the idea of combining J and E and using the same spine for both letters. My two results are as follows.

Personally, I prefer the first logo. Although the second captures the curve of the J better, I think the first is smarter and looks more professional. These are only temporary colours at the moment, I will change the colours when I have decided on them.
