I've been playing around with a new logo for my natural deodorant and herbal teas that I make, because I hated the logo I had before. It's mainly for fun, but I do want something that speaks from my heart and also looks good on a sticker, right? I'm not a graphic designer, but I do love to play around with these things. Using CANVA, I came up with the following logo, and would love your advice and help!
The name itself is a word I often play around with - to me, a 'dreaming' is not just a night dream but something one actively does, like imagining a story, a life, an entire history or future. Dreaming of earth to me is creating a world into existence, of making a garden from the soil, creating possibilities through meditation, play and creativity, but it's also that feeling of seeing the entire picture - the worms, the mountains, the oceans, the animals, the plants, the people, all as one. In the centre of the logo is mugwort, a plant known to help with sleep and dreams but also is a plant of the moon, and an ally of woman. The moon of course influences all. I like the name - I've been playing around with words for this for a long time and this came to me today.
What I'm unsure of is the colour, the lettering, and the way the letters hang over the edge - that wouldn't work in dark mode. On balance, I do like the long as it is, but the overhang is bothering me. What am I missing? How could I alter it?

If you're viewing this post in dark mode, you'd see my concern.
And is the colour okay - or is too wishy washy? The colours for this particular circle are muted - cold blues and steel greys.
Here's the image again with a blue tinge, and the letters in a slightly different arrangement. Again, I have a dark mode issue. But that's irrelevant on a label.

As I'm writing this post, my husband is talking to me about sleeping bags and tents again. I pretended to listen to him last night. He's now pretending to be interested in fonts. This is EXACTLY why I'm asking HIVE. At least I might upvote your feedback, which is more than my husband gets for pretending to be interested in my logo...
Of course, if I was worried about dark mode, I could just have a different version of the logo, right?

Funny how you play around with these things and you end up with the image you like the best anyway. But now I'm worried about how it'll work on a sticker! As in, fitting it on a circle tin, which I put my deodorant in.
So maybe I should do a more circle circle so it aligns better, and put the text within the circle?

Ah! Help! I need your advice!
Be so grateful for your assistance!
