opinions? most stuff is a WIP, and some just for fun. especially the Dribbble one, I have a different idea for when I am good enough for Dribbble.

I think the Artsy one is best (;

because you started Artsy rofl

In the first one for Dribbble, I'd remove the drop shadow on the Dribbble logo, you're going for a flat theme so I'd either remove it completely or make a thin drop shadow similar to Google's material design. Same goes for the Artsy one, there's a drop shadow for the "request a quote" button but not for learn more. I understand it's because you were distinguishing the white button on a white background but I'd try it anyways.

Also, try to remove the elements behind the transparent Dribbble logos. Your dot grid is showing through the most transparent one and yes, that is practical and it is reasonably what would a transparent layer would do but you're losing the flat aesthetic again. The same goes for seeing the two logos overlap in the first and second logo.

In the fourth one, with the dark background, I'd remove the fade on the star's on the right. It's too small of a symbol for the fade to be significant. It work's well on the trails because it's a line that's trailing off I guess but the stars are static and look odd with the same fade applied to it. I'd also make the main title, Marek Kizer, along with the subtitle much larger. Maybe it's just because of my bias for large bold graphic design but I think it could benefit because it'll create a disconnection from the main title and the smaller subtitles that follow.

Otherwise, really clean work, hope to see more from you in the future.
