I need a critique on this type, or more specifically the "R-E". Any help would be appreciated!

1
The O has its opening towards south-west. Have you tried north-east, thus making the normal icon of the moon?
2
What is The Sleep Store?
3
How come the place where the curve meets the stem in P (and R) is relatively thick, compared to the same place in T and E?
4
I would reduce the space between the words a hair.
5
Like Scott: the R gets a lot of attention ... it shoudn't.
6
BTW, a nice mark!

tom, i agree, that the bottom one looks like a C -- perhaps you could rotate it a bit more? like this . . .
i think either direction for the moon shape would work, though. Also, i am not a type expert, but it seems as though you either need to make the P curve at the bottom a little thicker or the R curve a little thinner:
here is what i mean about the moon rotated and the R thinner.
I also agree the bottom of the E is too long. Of course, this is all nit-picking refinement stuff --great logo.
Sally -- somehow I think that your moon pointing south-east, as well as Tom's first moon pointing south-west, don't work due to ... well, astronomy. You don't see the moon that way on our hemisphere, do you? Anyway, I think that north-east has most 'universalilty'. (Red Crescent -- the non-christian equivalent to Red Cross has its opening pointing east).
I don't see a problem misreading O for C ... having read 'THE' and 'SLEEP' I'm sure noone would go on 'STCRE' ...
You still need to adjust the upper stem/curve joints in P and R.
I would prefer a normal leg to R ... considering its position right next to the pun.
I agree with those that say the E is too broad ... the more 'dull' the other letters are, the more interesting the moon!
