Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Kim Flores Photography

What type of product or service do you offer?
contemporary on-location photography for maternity, babies, children, teens and families

How long have you been in business?
18 months

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
I have always had very feminine, child like logos, with specific colors. As much as love color, I have found that I bore easily of a set color scheme. So, I think it may be in my best interest to go with something more classy, not color schemed, and neutral. I would also like to jump into 2008 with a more classy, upscale look, as opposed to "flowery and fun" like I have now.

What are your long term goals?
I am currently on-location only, but I would like to have a natural light studio in a couple years from now. There are many high end photographers in my area, and I want to be known as one of the top here. I am working my way up, and have made a name for myself, but I want to project a classy image, not fun and affordable. I am also trying to break into the commercial industry, so feel that it is in my best interest to display a professional appearance.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
December 20th, but that can be flexible if I have to. I am working on a new website now, and want to launch it the first week in 2008, with a new look.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
Such a broad range. Families and new parents. The class range is wide, from middle class to upper. Expectant mothers, to teens. I guess I would say the majority of my clients are young, mid 20's to early 30's.

Who would you like to add to your audience?
Higher middle to upper income families above the age of 30.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:

What type of logo would you like?
I would like something without a set color scheme. My new site is going to be white or light grey. I would like something in which the font will look good in black or white, but not mixed. I gravitate towards logos that have abstract initials, and then plain text to follow. I have a very hard time finding font that looks good with my initials. I love lower case lettering for the initials. I also like something to look a little femimine and classy, yet not too frilly.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
I wouldn't mind seeing color, but at the moment, I am really wanting something without color. Black and or white. My site will be white for the moment, so maybe black or light/dark grey. Something I won't tire of. I get bored with color.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Nothing definite...but my last name means flowers. My current logo has a flower in it, so if you can incorporate a flower of some sort, but that is still questionable.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?Contemporary, fresh, art, modern, yet fun.

What is your tagline or slogan?
none

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
Custom portraiture is a luxury. Children's portraits are not meant to capture what you look like, they are meant to capture the essence of the child. Capture today, this modern era.

Where will your new logo be used?
website, business card, magazine ad, banner

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
My competitors are all female. Most have classy logos, and one has a child like logo. I actually like their logos alot, so try to get the images out of my head when finding mine. I like to have a unique style, and don't want to look like theirs.

LOGOS I LOVE: www.bwphotos.net Love the abstract lettering here.
www.alwphotography Once again, like the simple format and lack of color.


What sets you apart from your competitors?
My style is more commercial. I love color pop, and all natural light.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
gap kids.

Thanks Off Beat design for this try. It is ok, but a little too similar to Audery Woulards. The KF also throws my off a bit.
I am really thinking I like the flowing style, like in the www.bwphotos.com logo(Brittany W) I love the abstract lettining, and love how it makes the perfect watermark.

Just a quick note so the designers will know: the correct URL is .net :)

WoW! This is awesome! Very talented designers here;)

I really like the basic layout of Off beat Designs V4, but not totally liking the initial's font. The business name font isn't bad though.
I love the flowey lettering of Blue Cherry's V2, but not the font per say. I would like it to appear a *little* more like a KF. I like how Off Beat Designs version fits together though, if that makes more sense.

Love what I see so far though. It is going to make choosing very hard.

These are great!I need to stare at them a bit longer to get a better idea, but so far, here are my thoughts....

I really like Blue Cherry's V5, ALTHOUGH.....

I would like to see something like Off Beat's V3, with a similar, but different font for the initials, and no stacking on the main name. Hope I am making sense?

Thanks again, you all are amazing designers!!

OffbeatDesign
12-10-2007, 06:12 PM
Thanks Kim. The initials on these are hand drawn, not based on a font. See if this is better.

kimflores
12-10-2007, 06:36 PM
Thanks Off Beat. I really kind of graviate towards the flowing initials in Blue Cherry's attempt. Would like to see a version without stacking though, as this new site doesn't have alot of header room.

Thanks though~

kimflores

Like this one alot(v9), but try with no stacking the biz name?

BlueCherryGraphics
12-10-2007, 07:15 PM
Hi,

The initials are my handwriting, but I can alter it if you want.

"No stacking" = biz name on one line, you mean?

kimflores
12-10-2007, 07:16 PM
And sorry to be a huge pain, lol...Can I see something with all lower case text?

Thanks!!

Thanks everyone! You are all great!!! I have already referred this site to many!

Well, I was going to head to bed, but I had one more request for now.

Is it possible to make the initials a little more horizontal? I like Blue Cherry's V11, but I would like to see a variation where the initials spread out horizontally, if that makes sense? I do not have a ton of logo room on the site I am working with, so I like something a little flat, like in my current logo. YOu can check that out at www.kimfloresphotography.com

Thanks, and nite all~

Hi all~

So, I after staring at these for awhile, I am really drawn to Blue Cherry's V5, but can I see something with all lower case, and not as stiff of a font? I would also like to see something with kim flores photography on one line.

Thanks again~

Blue Cherry...before I go, can I see something like your V17, but with lower case lettering for the main line? no script? Not stiff font?

Thanks, I am almost there;)

Perfect;) Thanks Blue Cherry!

I will sleep on this, and be back with a final decision tomorrow. Can someone enlighten me though....when you receive the logo file, is it possible to change the color if you like or do I have to decide on that also? Do you let us know what font was used so we can purchase that to use in other places?

Thanks~

BlueCherryGraphics
12-11-2007, 05:54 PM
Yes, all designers are required to provide you editable vector files as well as let you know the name of the font used in the design (although we do not provide font files).

Do I need to choose a color right now? As for now, I would like something with a mixtures of grey's. Can I change it down the road?

BlueCherryGraphics
12-17-2007, 09:19 AM
v29

What I would recommend is choosing a color scheme you like b/c you will get both grayscale and b/w with your package, so that would give you maximum flexibility.

kimflores
12-17-2007, 10:11 AM
I do receive the vector layers though, right? So I can change them if I want. I do not know what color I want as of yet, so I want to keep it neutral. IF I can change it down the road, then the last version you posted is just fine;)

Thanks~
