Thanks for your attempts so far. I would encourage everyone to take a peek at our site and get a good feel for us as a company. Perhaps browse our blog as well www.storybyphoto.com/blog, see our visions as artists and then try to mesh your own.

We are hoping to do something a tad more unique with the font as well.

[hleighaz]

Hi NHR,

We are trying to get away from the SBP branding. We would also like to incorporate our web address into the logo (if possible).

I like the first design colors. I did not care for the font.

[hleighaz]

Hi Lutfi,

We do not want any brides and grooms in the logo. We would also like to incorporate our web address www.StorybyPhoto.com

Thanks,
Heather

[hleighaz]

Hi Giant,

I like where you are going with this. I would like to see different colors used (I do like the funky, just perhaps not green).

I like the creative use of designs, but maybe less old world like.

One more thing, we would like to include our web address: www.StorybyPhoto.com

[giant]

By the way, which version do you mean? :)
Here's I got something new, but I don't know if you like a butterfly icon or not, but I made a SBP to a butterfly... :)
and Thank You.

Hi Giant,

Very Cool idea. I like the creativity. However, a butterfly doesn't fit with our vision for this new logo.

Feel free to explore the colors.:)

Thanks,
Heather

Some decent Logos but id say too conservative and corporate looking for a business like ours.

NHR- your version 3.0 is the most interesting at this point. Do you think you can tweak a couple other versions of it? Perhaps font changes and colors?

[hleighaz]

Any chance of incorporating the domain as well and perhaps being a little less on the Pastel side of things?

I realize that Pastels and Fruity colors are in right now with Wedding Photogs but its never really been our style.

Like these last few alot gang thank you!

[glyphica]

Can you tell us which designs you are responding about? Thanks! :)

[hleighaz]

Post 32,33 and 34. Also 27. All headed in the right direction or in a good direction I should say.

Here are a couple of new logos friends have had designed and some people I have just found. For your creative juices.

Colors can be edited when I get the logo but for the most part darker logo is what we are going for. Keep in mind the site it needs to match is www.storybyphoto.com

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for my delay in responding. I was out of town.

I am still looking for a new logo. I need something edgy/ catchy that will peak interest right away.

I also need to make sure that the font and the colors catch attention as well .

I still like the following designs
31 - Need S in Story and P in Photo to be capitalized, and to be more of the focus. THe artsy design is quite large in comparison

65 - Don't like the colors, what else can we do with this?

68 - I would like the font to be more commanding. It looks a tad bit generic. I do like the tilt. Very Cool :-)

I am also open to fresh ideas and takes on our logo. I look forward to seeing the results.

Thanks,
Heather

Hi Everyone,

Okay, we have narrowed it down to post # 71, and Post #74.

I would like to see both in PMS 5753. Accent color for #74 would be PMS 5793.

Also, on #71, we would like the bottom to be www.StoryByPhoto.com and centered.

Can't wait to see them.

Thanks,
Heather

[OffbeatDesign]

Heather, I am out of town all week and will post the revision as soon as I return. Thanks.

[LutFi]

Version # 19.

PMS 5753 with white accent.

Thank you.
LutFi

[LutFi]

Version # 20

PMS 5753 with Accent color PMS 5793.

:yes:

Thank you
LutFi

[hleighaz]

Lutfi- anyway to balance the S to the B and the P? Right now it seems to not match them so well. unbalanced if you will.

We are probably going to go with this logo since we are not getting anymore submissions so if you can see about changing the S that would be great!

[OffbeatDesign]

I will be able to submit on Saturday or Sunday if you can wait until then. Thanks.

[LutFi]

Version # 21

with balanced 's', b & p.

Thanks

[hleighaz]

Okay...color change again :-)

we are looking at 1955C and 467 C as the accent.

Lutfi - the "s" in sbp still looks off to us. perhaps because the b and p are so close together. THe S looks all alone. Is their anyway to make it a smoother transition.

[LutFi]

Version # 22

Adjusting balanced space between s,b,p.
With requested color.

:)

[LutFi]

Version # 23.

Adding smooth transitions in s,b,p.

:D

[OffbeatDesign]

Thanks!
