I think it'd be worth doing the exercise kelpie suggested, print out the logo at a decent size and trace it with an ink and brush till the shapes flow more naturally. Scan it in, bring it into illy and live trace and clean up any errant points. This will help both the flow of the letters and the stroke widths, as they'll be based on the actualy sizes that you would get from sign painting etc.
Or, you could try drawing it in chalk on a blackboard to see how that would look, as it would give a completely different feel to the logo.

too forced atmjimbojones - i reckon if you practise it freehand your hand will naturally find the right curves eventuallykelpie

maybe try rounding out the terminal on that c. looks too pointy. and yeah a little slanting and some baseline shifting (word!) and you should be set.

- slightly rotated to the right because the above seemed a little off to me.Jordy
- the h going into the a looks forced, not flowing.
But, do like it!alicetheblue

"The logo is for a small studio that wants to be reminded of a time without worries. Chalk reminds you of a time without worries, when you were little but still wanted to create, you used chalk, to go freehand on the pavement, making a statement for everyone to see. But it also wears off in the rain and is erasable, easy to start over .. It's playful, and also used to teach you something back in school by writing on the blackboard .."
Shouldn't it be rougher around the edges and.... more chalky and less inky if that's the case? Nothing too literal, but at least something a little closer your prose-poem / statement, above.

If it was drawn in chalk, would you get any variation in line weight at all?

I like it, but maybe try exagerating the height of some of the characters to give it a slightly more uneven/ handwritten feel. Also you might be able to try some fun treatments to the beginning and end lines in the 'C' and 'K'.
