Default Critique my logo please

It's been a WHILE since I've done any real creative work, but I'm trying to sharpen my skills so I can freelance a little. I really need to get Illustrator for doing logos - I made this one in Fireworks.

Any suggestions?

In case you are wondering where the coffee theme came from, everyone that I used to work with noted my caffiene addiction with the term of endearment, "coffee freak" - so it kinda stuck. I debated using my last name, Abbott, since it puts me first in the phone book, but nobody uses them anymore!

The image at the center is good enough. But you may want to opt for a much simpler typography. Most of the time, simplicity works best especially in logo design.

Right you are. There's a lot going on with the typography. Simplicity is still the best. Always remember that.

the acid test with a logo is as follows.
make it black and white
reduce it to 150px x 150px
does it work?

I really like the coffee cup in the middle but I think you could do without the coffee shape for the background. I don't like the font for the creative designs tagline. I would go with something less handwriting looking.
