All of the examples provided show a simple, wordmark design. However, please keep in mind that it still should be a very "corporate / business" logo. Not retail-oriented.
Please use the last example "DDK Productions" as a good framework, but I'd like for it to have a little more creativity / complexity to the design. The "fuducci" is a good example as well.
