[joshbehan]

hi logoholik, i'm not crazy about any of these, but keep the ideas coming, i like version 2 the best out of these, but i'd like the j to be more prominent if that's possible. thanks

[joshbehan]

just wondering if anyone is working on anything or has any ideas? thanks

Hello:

Thank you.

[joshbehan]

thanks guys/girls:

Taldo: I really like the colors in your design, but it looks a bit too modern/trendy for me.

nhr: i like the font of my name and the word 'photography' but i don't like the font of the 'jb' it's too sweeping and grand. i'm thinking more like friendly/warm fonts if that makes any sense.

thanks again, and please, keep the ideas coming.

[joshbehan]

just to keep everyone up on what i've been thinking, i like vintage/typewriter style fonts in all lower case letters. also, i've been toying with the idea of this: joshua behan [photography] or [joshua behan] photography.

[joshbehan]

hi logoholik,
i like these two, especially version 6. the only thing i don't like about it is the 'b' looks just a little too sloppy (i don't even know if that's something you can fix), and i'm not crazy about the font on the word 'photography', and lastly, maybe we could try it without the brackets around 'photography'

thanks, and i like where this is going.

Hi :) Here's one from me.

v7

[joshbehan]

logoholik: i like the logo part from version 8, but all the type from version 9. could we try combining those, and trying some different positioning of the logo ie to the left or right of the wording?

[joshbehan]

offbeat, i like the font and style of the wording: joshuabehanphotography in version 4, but i don't like the logo or the colors (no red), could we try that with some different colors, possibly some muted blues/greens? thanks

taldo: i really really like version 3, my only concern is that i think the website is going to have a black background, would it be possible to lighten the background of your design just a little (maybe a dark dark grey) ? thanks

[Taldo]

Here it is dark gray. I put in the black background so you can see what it would look like.

[Taldo]

Or you leave off the box in the logo and this is what it looks like when placed on your website background...

[joshbehan]

taldo: i like these

logoholik: i like the horizontal design (version 11) could we get a small dot over the lower case 'j' in the logo part? and center the word photography under my name? thanks

[Leclerk]

sure...

v13

[joshbehan]

logoholik: i really like version 12, i'm wondering what this would look like with a box (thin line) coming off the logo (same grey color) and going around the words to frame them

offbeat: the font is a little too sloppy, and i'm not crazy about these colors

[OffbeatDesign]

v14

[Leclerk]

yep, it looks good...

Cheers,

[joshbehan]

logoholik: this is what i was thinking, i like it. the bottom right corner kind of bothers me though. could we make it connect? i do like the slight roughness of that line though, i would just like to see it connect. and one more thing, sorry if i'm being too much of a pain here, but could we extend a small black, rough line from the 'joshua behan photography box' around the 'jb' (just like you did with the grey box) just to see. thanks again

[nhr]
