What's the name of the company? What does that word in Arabic translate to? Why is the a slightly tilted on the left without any particular reason?
Again, you clearly didn't put the right amount of work in this logo. There's a whole creative process you should go through if you hope to achieve a decent logo.
Here a quick breakdown of how it should go:
First: research. Check out the market for this kind of business. Who are the competitors? How do their logo and general branding look like? What trend can you identify? What's good, what's not? Know your shit.
Then, inspiration. Creativity is your vehicle to achieve greatness and inspiration is the fuel you need to get it going. Peruse the web with the mind of a wolf in a sheep nursery. Check out sites like www.LogoPond.com, www.Dribbble.com, www.FromUpNorth.com and get yourself an account on www.Pinterest.com. With a good fix of inspiration, you should feel creativity flowing through your veins and feel like a total badass.
Third step. The most important step. In the history of steps, this is the importantest. Sketching. Let me repeat again. SKETCHING. Take a pen and make every single piece of paper your bitch. Sketch like their's no tomorrow. Sketch like your life depends on it. Sketch hundred of ideas, whatever goes through your mind. This is how cool ideas will almost magically pop up in your mind and also how you will learn to translate these ideas on paper. I know it can be frustrating sometimes when you have a cool idea in mind but feel unable to put it on paper. Sketching will help you to just do that. So do not hesitate to spend days on end doodling away.
The last part is execution. Refine, scan, refine, rescan, execute. This is how knowing Illustrator comes in handy. It just comes with practice and experience. If you're going for handmade typography, refining your logo with trace paper is super useful too. There are tons of videos on YouTube about that.
Apply this creative process to all your logos. Make a lot of them. You'll make mistakes, you will fail but more importantly, you will learn. And before you know it, you'll be able to achieve good looking logos.
I think this pretty much sums up what I would say about your batch of logos as a whole. Sketching may seem like a trivial part of logo design, but it really does help flesh out ideas more effectively. It's what separates amateurs from advanced designers.
I find it really difficult for non-arabs to read it (but evetually depends on what crowd are you targeting).
The tilted (a) is not making things any easier, i noticed a light shadow underneath, perhaps if you move (a) on top of the (l) it would be more visible and less confusing.
The beige fill in (ج) I simply don't understand.

This one isn't working either.
