Thank You. ,
Thank you!, Dewa Jaya it's a bit too masculine. I think that the lines on the NN are a little sharp on the edges. The green doesn't work for me. I'm looking for something that flows and like with a pattern.

[DennisMPhotography]

Thank you, Blesseville. I couldn't figure out the heart right away, As a stand alone logo, it's nice but it lacks to me the feeling of wanting something from that company. I would like to see it in other colors, please. Some retail boutique stores when you walk in the store the patterns that they use are make you feel like you want something from there. You might not see anything you would ever wear but the patterns they use make you feel good and like you want something.

Hi SQAURELOGO,
Thanks for your interest, I would like to see not so many fonts, it doesnt really flow for me. I would like to see the name interweaved in a background or pattern.

:) hi
Thank you Taldo, we are definetely going in the right direction with this one. I'm not entirely excited about the color but the last one on the bottom right I like so far. This one coveys a sense of class. How could you make it play out to where it had feminine boutique feel. this has a nice boutique feel http://www.josevillaphoto.com/
this one is really nice too. http://www.jeshderox.com/

Thank you freetime. I like what you did with the photo corners, but it takes away from the boutique feel. I mentioned in previous posting that I wasnt thrilled with sharp corners.
Im still looking for a boutique feel. The submission prior to you has sharp corners but still lacks a boutique and fine art feel.
http://www.josevillaphoto.com/ has a nice feel.

Thank you Taldo,
for the multiple submissions. I reviewed the websites that I included and I noticed that the names were interweaved into the logo itself. For example http://www.josevillaphoto.com/, http://www.jeshderox.com/ and http://www.tanjalippertphotography.com/index.html the names is not necessarily in a predictable place. The name seems to be a part of the or flow from the logo vs being placed on top or next to the logo.That's why I still like the Version 1 the bottom right logo with the solid black square with the lower case dm. Version 3 is nice. the pattern stamp is a little distracting unlike the sample websites it feels like a partial patern than one that sets a feel or mood. Looks almost like a wave. I see the black box symbolizes a photo but it can feel a little cramped. In Version 1 the soft lower case letters blend well with the black square. It lacks texture or pattern screams creative boutique photographer. I don't mind changing the font as long as it goes better with the design and its legible.

[DennisMPhotography]

Logo design Version#1 :)
Thank you Krishm, Im not so interested in a complex logo as the D, thank you. Im looking more for a something that when looked at puts you in a boutique shopping mood vs trying to solve a logo.

[DennisMPhotography]

Logo Version#2 :)
Thank you Krishm, Dont really like anything about this one, again to complex letters within letters.

[DennisMPhotography]

Logo Version#3 :)
Thank you Krishm, Im liking this better. The symbol doesnt really remind me of a D it has more of a Hawaiian feel. I can see that this has some versitility that the other logos don't necessarily have yet, but its a bit blocky. I would like it with a more boutique fem. feel. Thank you for the submissions thus far.

Hi Freetime, would you please change the open square the M site into and put it into a solid square similar with taldos solid square? let's see what that looks like.

[DennisMPhotography]

Hello! :)
Thank you Artemii, Im not interested in complex letter arrangements. Im looking for a cleaner look. Thank you. Please keep submitting.

Thank you Blesseville,
I like what you did, I feel everyone here is stuck on the fact that there has to be a square or a circle in the logo. That maybe my fault although Ive mentioned that a nice pattern such as wallpaper of some sort or changing the font is ok also. I'd like to challenge you and the rest of the artists to try something completely different than what has been submitted. Thank you

I like this freetime. Nice job, thanks for stepping out. Were headed in the right direction, can you show me a variation of the swirl types?

[DennisMPhotography]

:)
Thank you Taldo, I'm looking at how much text there is and it's not as appealing anymore, the stamp pattern doesn't seem to flow with the sqaure. I like what you've done thus far, I like the clean look you give the logo. Is it possible to tie it into the the overall logo. I think if the you start with the pattern and introduce the text later, that is more of what is catching my eye. Freetimes pattern leads you into the text. I'd like to see more from you, please.

Thanks, this style doesnt catch my attention.

Nice idea, a little busy though, the name get's lost. I like version 3, I was suggesting something a little on the grunge look not necessarily fancier. The layout of V3 looks good.

[Taldo]

This will give you a stand alone icon that can be used for watermarks, etc...

Hi Freetime, my eye keep coming back to V3. I would like to see some more variations of those swirls that might have a grungier look to them, not fancier. ;)

I'm not entirely looking to duplicate this logo, as Im trying to achieve the feel of boutique.

one more..a little roughed up...

one more..a little roughed up...
Thank You for the last submission. As you all know tomorrow is the last day and I would like to thank you all for all of your hard work and patience. I have to say that it feels like we started to head in the right direction with the last submission from page 1. I like to once again cry out for someone to put something out there so unique something with a take off from the last submission on the first page. It catches my eye because it's cute and clean, but it lacks the wow factor. Please dig deep I am greatfull for the progress thus far, I'm confident we will accomplish this logo by tomorrow. Once again, thanks. :yes:

[Blesseville]

Thank you for the feedback. One last try. :)

Thank you. I'm liking this logo alot. The pattern above and below the name seem to be inverted therefore is doesnt look as symetrical with the name. I would like to see it without the oval shape around the name. The pattern around the name looks a little oval shaped looking like and egg. Is there a way to make it more rounded and is there a variation of the pattern. I'd like to see different patterns, perhaps something that looks like a touch of Henna.

Hi Carol,
Thank you for all of your submissions. = )
I would also like to see the logo with the name off to the right side. This way it can be used if I need to squeeze it in a place that is vertically challenged. As far as the color it could be nice to have the logo in a format were I can give it the color I'd like. I'd rather not bother you with little details like colors. I love the logo. = ) :yes:

[Taldo]

Hope this is the version you meant..
Do you have Photoshop or Illustrator?

Thank you for doing that change. I do have Photoshop. Is it hard to change the color of the logo in Photoshop? I would like to have the verticle and horizontal version if possible please. Which one do you like, from an esthetic point of view? As far as the format that I would like the file, I would like them to be at the highest quality, I believe a tiff and 300-600 dpi? I'm not sure, I'll get back to you. I'm open to what is the usual. I would like it on a transparent background so that I can place it over images. Thank you once again.
