Logo Desing - Need feedback ~ Please

[Steves World]

I need a cool Logo for my Steve's Real World Youtube channel.
Attached is some ideas from designers, but can get some feedback or direction please.

My YT is a mix of reviews, vlogs, Dogs, food, games and more.
My thoughts.
#1 Is bright and colorful, not sure if Lightening bots fit me
#2 Is interesting, but the Font is too small
#3 I really like the font, but what the heck is the skull character?
#4 We don't travel, the Airplane doesn't fit.

Can anyone help, PLEASE post any thoughts you have. I really need some help here.
And Thank you,

As an experienced graphic designer I was say #1 looks the best to me.the lightning bolts can easily be removed or replaced with something like a cartoon dog, maybe a hamburger with a face, and then a miniature cartoon version of yourself. Just an idea. Maybe you can link up with me and I'll design one for you?

no1 works! Better for small scale. May work even better if it just said 'steve' .. which could then be bigger.

no2. not scaleable - wont look right as a channel icon.
no3. looks like gaming channel for kids
no4. likely from a free logo maker online thats been edited a little. Doe's not look like bespoke skilled work you should have paid for.

Maybe try @Dutchie Abroad for something thats made from scratch.

#1 and #3 fall into the category of "logo" in the making. The other two, #2 and #4, could be logos but need a lot more work.

#3 like @UhoohExtra said, looks like a gaming channel logo but got the right idea in my opinion (explained below).

So #1, needs more work though and here's why; A logo should provide some kind of context. In your case, your channel seems to be overall a variety of howto's and vlogging. In otherwords, practical info and, erm, you.

There's also the fact that you've opted to included a name, Steve. So it only stands to reason to have a character that looks like Steve be part of the logo. Not lightening and clouds??? I know, I know... "Real World" and what not, stop focusing on that, as the whole point of those words is to say that it's more about... you guessed it! YOU! But the design style of it though is what I would have gone for.

Edit: Forgot to add that, the logo would go on your channel banner, while the character part of the logo will become the channel icon.

Amazing feedback - Thank you.
I am going to see about re-working #1.
Below are some other ideas, copying the font from MTV's real World.
Any thoughts on those?

If you're not a traveler, I really wouldn't go for a globe in your logo. So #2 and # 4 for me would be misleading to what kind of channel you are. I like the simplicity of #1, especially because you can (as previously mentioned) easily replace the clouds with things that represent you and your content better.

@UhoohExtra Thanks for mentioning me I'd be happy to help out!
