Poppytalk Blog logo variations

I was asked to design a word mark for a wildly popular blog called Poppytalk - Ja had seen my 'CIAO!' iPhone case project and wondered if I could channel some more vintage Italian design and come up with a new identity for her. These were some of the more finished ideas. She ended up choosing the Black and white one on the bottom...which looks great on her site, and is very scaleable for other uses.
