the red beak is an excellent addition. what strikes me is that the text and the graphic visually want to stand independent, at least to me. what if you worked the name into the body of the swan itself? just a thought.
Fantastic! That's it, no doubt about it. Love the one with the red beak.
If you were going to use the logos with the scroll work as a water colour, I see an issue. The scroll work & your name / handle wouldn't show up that much and might make it look muddy in the process.
The last logo is by far my favorite, clean & crisp. Grannygoth suggested in round 1, that the inclusion of 2 names in 1 logo makes it confusing and I have to agree with her.
I like the very last example with the two names (and the red beak). Simple, bold, and you'll be less likely to want to change it over time. Would make a nice watermark too if done really small because it would be easy to read when small. The flourish-less circular image can stand alone AND work with the simple text font because it's so bold.
One idea to try though when using both names - I don't know the correct terminology for this (I want to say "justifed"), but to play with character spacing so the letters are "matched up" on the right, or choosing a VERY similar font for one line or the other with characters that are either slightly wider or narrower to make them match up on the right. My reasoning is that both your personal name and "business" name are equal to you - making both equal visually might give the same impression (as it is I am fighting to not see the two lines as a sort of list, but that may just be me). Who knows, you might absolutely hate it because it's so formal, but it might be worth a try to see how it looks.
