Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo? The name of the studio...not necessarily the whole thing. "emily deisroth photography + design"....it's a long name, which is why I need to change my logo. THe whole name does not need to be a pat of the logo, but emily deisroth photography is the crucial part..

What type of product or service do you offer? boutique photography. weddings, families, maternity, newborn and children. powerful images with custom designed products like books, photo art, cards...

How long have you been in business? 5 years

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity? a graphic image that identifies the studio..not just my big huge long studio name.

What are your long term goals? have an identifiable product..both the images that I produce and the designs that we create from them.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer? 7 days

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience - upper income 30 somethings living in the city...just getting married or starting families. transient..

Who would you like to add to your audience? Families with older children - 5+

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like? fresh, funky but sleek. Logo must blend with my current website. www.emilydeisroth.com and www.another3amproduction.typepad.com

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?) must blend with current website www.emilydeisroth.com

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo? no

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business? professional, established, artistic, NOT Traditional... One of the issues that I have is that I need to convey that I am a non-traditional photographer..that I do not do "formal portraits"..as much as I try to convey it, many people don't read or pay attention...

What is your tagline or slogan? "an instant of life...captured for eternity"

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience? capture the real person/family..relationships, not just people smiling and perforn=ming for the camera.

Where will your new logo be used? Website, blog..all packaging and marketing materials

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos? "photojournalistic" photographers. THie logos all seem to have one block of color with their intiials in it. or are just their names. I would like something a little LOUDER than that, more graphic than wordy, but simplistic.

List competitive URLs if possible
http://www.barbaraglaeserphoto.com/
http://www.andreashirey.com/
http://www.virginiapaynephotography.com
http://www.amyraab.com/
http://www.emilyweissphotography.com/


What sets you apart from your competitors? interaction with clients and post processing techniques...products are more art than just photos.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company: Fresh creative funky

Wow! I love seeing all the different designs and possibilities! THanks so much.

In general I would like to see some use of the Red color that is on my site that is used as a highlight color.. the same color as the stars on my splash page. Also, after loking at all of them I would like to see some designs that highlight Photography and downplay my name...maybe use my ititials E.D? Without it looking like Ed's photography?

BLue CHerry Gr-
version 1. could I see it with my name having the first letters emphasized? the E and the D. Maybe using the red on those letters? I am also thinking that Photography is de-emphasized and would like to emphasize it more
Version 2.- I little too business like for my taste but I like the concept of several things coming together (in this case the petals) . I am wondering if just a color switch up would work?

kekpania -

V1- I really like this... I love that photography sits front and center in a different font. WHile I love it I am not sure that the cursive would blend well with my website? ALso wondering if you could add a graphic of some sort.? SOmething that a client would see and immediatly know it's mine even if my name wasn't on it. My first thought is to put a smallish something between my names or use a graphic in place of the O in photography? Just thoughts..you are the designer and know best.

V2- Would like to see this with squares? maybe 2 rounded corner squares and one photo corner square? I love the circles but my website has a squarish linear feel all over it. COuld you incorporate some red?

Fran-
Could you make the e and the d more prominent (larger and maybe red) basically I would like to see red where the pink is used , make the "e" and the "d" more prominent and possibly emphasize photography more. I like the dots!

THanks so much!!

THanks for that. I think it had the opposite effect than I had thought . Now my eye is going from emily to design instead of to photography. I love the design and would like to highlight photography more if it doesn't compromise the design... Other wise your second one is my favorite.
