New Branding

I have recently re-branded myself.
Here is my new logo and business card design.
I feel this logo represents a truer me, a graphic designer more focused with type and use of a clear, message driven style. I have also made progress with my web presence,  i have just purchased a domain; holmes-sweet-holmes.com - this is in my opinion more memorable than what might be thought best (patrickholmes.com), and i feel this will further influence people to visit. See, at the bottom of this post, my website layout design.
