way too much stuff going on here, try posting just the actual logo, no clipart and stuff like this.
To be on topic, take the hell out the "o" in the shop, if from another movie, moustache is ok, the font style is ok but you messed with it's anatomy, subtext is way too much, stars are good but not in this style. If you want to go vintage you should also keep it simple and to the point. Try to take a look at joe white's designs. All thumbs down for this for the moment.
thank you so much for your comment! Your critique was really helpful! i keep these in mind for my next logo! Have a nice day and thank you for your time :)
I agree with Hueroth. This is way too cluttered and complicated. I guess you wanted a complex logo, which is good, but ended up with a complicated, which is bad.
However complex and detailed you want your logo to be, try to keep some simplicity in the general composition of the lay out. Don't go with two symmetrical elements on each side and then fuck everything up with an asymmetrical, right heavy ribbon.
Also, are these pictures on the left and right? (Yes they are) Never ever under any circumstances put pixel-based elements in your logos. They should be 100% vector. And don't just trace these pictures willy nilly, you'll just end up with a huge mess of anchor points.
Lastely, hold off on the number of pictograms in your logo. That's what really make the whole damn thing over complicated. Same goes with the number of fonts. Stick to 2 complimenting fonts. The one for "gentleman's grooming" is barely readable and has no place in a logo. Also, avoid ubiquitous fonts like Lobster. It won't give that vintage look you're looking for but will make your logo look cheap and amateurish.
I gave you you a green thumb for the intention of going for a trendy vintage type of logo, but unfortunately, the end results are way off the mark. Let go of the mouse for a while and sketch a few dozen (ie hundreds) ideas before committing to anything.
And yes, check out Joe White's work, if it doesn't pump up your inspiration, nothing will =)

I'm assuming this is more of a banner/sign so I am rating it as such and I think it's perfect!!
This is more a banner than a logo

Good luck!
Never heard of Joe White- just checked him out.....um, wow! All I can say!
He used to hang around the Critique section a few years back. His work is stellar and now it's curated everywhere on the web.
Cool. Always fun to learn about a new designer!
