With canoes in your blog name I can't help feeling it should be the canoe one, but for me the bears one wins hands down. It's much cleaner and easier to read, and just all round more attractive to me on the design side.
My answer won't be much help ... the bear is definitely cuter and looks like it would stamp much clearner. However, with canoe in your name, the canoe stamp makes more sense. Can this company design a canoe stamp that is less busy?

Another vote for the bear. It's cleaner, simpler, and will reproduce better than the canoe at smaller sizes. You can clearly tell the difference by looking at the thumbnails in your first post, without even opening the attachments.

I agree - I would ask the company if you can have a canoe silhouette stamp because that is what is striking about the bear, that it is a silhouette.
Could you redesign your own stamp and use the bear layout with the bolder image only substitute a lake with a canoe, trees in background, etc.? I like the appearance of the bear stamp better, but it needs a canoe image to match your blog IMO.

I vote for the canoe stamp, but love the bear also. What if you used the bear stamp for a return address stamp? It's nice and clean and might work really well for that.
Hi Cher! I personally like the clean, simple lines of the bear stamp and it's easier to read the info about you too! But from a buisness point of view I think you really need to go with a canoe stamp because that's the name of your blog and it's something already established.
I'd say get both, why not, have a little fun but truth be told I too would struggle each and every time I made a card one which one to stamp the back on the card with! LOL! I say have one stamp with a simpler canoe image made to "fit" you, that way you won't have to decide each time and then use that $16 to go and buy something you LOVE and just NEED to have! Hehe! Good luck and let me know what you get!
How have you been these days? I haven't heard from you a quite awhile!

I agree that it would be a good idea to have a canoe in the logo if your name has a canoe in it. But I found the canoe stamp a bit too busy and my eye wanted to pass over it without retaining the details. Whereas in the bear one I could easily read the info and it stuck in my mind. so maybe you can do as someone up above suggested and design your own that has a canoe and is less busy on the eye??
I can't decide and need your non-professional opinions...
