First off, you're only allowed one logo per post.

Now, what's going on with that trend of making logos with just initials + an obvious subtext?

Your name is what makes you unique. Reducing it to initials deprives it of any personality. Especially with a stale and dated font. As a graphic designer, think more in terms of signature rather than a corporate logo. You're not a company, you are a human being.

Having a logo, or a word mark, well thought through, designed effectively and full of life and personality will make any subtext superfluous. If you need to spell out that your are a graphic designer, it only means that your logo fails.

Now this logo right here is lazy beyond reason. I'm pretty sure you didn't spend more than 10 min working on it. There's absolutely nothing going on with this. You picked a very corporate font, stuck and M and a D together and went away with it. It feels like you did it because you had to, not because you wanted to.

Good luck!
