in that case you probably want to think about the style of them and the production. for instance it looks like there is some gradients in a few of those. i would be careful about using gradients in a logo that's primarily for print, because gradients are tricky to print often and unless you're using a good printer they usually don't come out looking like they do on the computer. like on the second one it looks like there i some kind of radial gradient on the front wing? stuff like that is going to be hard to reproduce off screen. that's not to say you can't do it, it's just an added issue to think about.

i like your first mark the best, and i like it best in the yellow. i think it's nicer because it's more abstract, but the color still reinforces the idea. how'd you come up with that concept? you might play around with scale of the mark to the text. they're relatively the same size right now. also i don't know if you've played with placing the text somewhere besides right under the mark, but you might look at that. although conceptually i think having the mark over the text makes sense in the context of a guardian angel since we think of those as watching "over" people.


the second one is alright. that extra little wisp on the right side of the wing is kinda strange to me. i think it's an extra detail that you don't really need, plus when you scale the mark down it mostly disappears.


i would disregard the last couple, especially the ones iwth literal wings. i just think it's too literal.
