The font is great. The icon is cute, but the lad strikes me as very American - it's the hat. And the colouring. And the freckles. Is that what you intended? Aren't the brits a little more quirky? What's your kid's name? He needs one - he's your mascot. If we isolated him from the logotype, does he represent Newspaper club's values? If you've gone the retro route then maybe the chap should hark back to more innocent times - the lad in the Hovis ads or maybe Peter from the Peter and Jane books. I could go on, but I'm sure you've got other things to worry about... As a former newspaper boy in the North of England, I don’t remember skipping around looking so bloody chirpy :0

I could go on, but I’m sure you’ve got other things to worry about…
