More of the above

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Stunning, creative, unique.. just like what I do.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
I love earthy and cool tones, with a splash of colour

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
If I need an icon, I would like it to look like a ‘signature’ as in my signature, not necessarily my exact signature, (not a full name signature, my initials as a signature)

A must have product

What is your tagline or slogan?

A lasting memorable,breathtaking impression that is stunning, and a must have on their wall ( my work)

Website, promotion products, shop front sign, letter heads, business cards, stickers, t-shirts, tattoos everything basically

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
I don’t think I have any competitors where I work, they are all mainly wedding photographers

List competitive URLs if possible

What sets you apart from your competitors?
My photography is more about ‘Art Works’ I prefer a client comes to me wanting an Art Work to put on their wall, rather than a series of pretty photos

WOWEE Jennifer, thanks so much for your speedy work.
as much as you have some great ideas here, most of them are fonts i have and could do myself ( and have done trying to establish a logo for myself, thought better of it and now leaving it up to professionals)
i would much prefer a stunning easy simple to read text for my name
i also dont' like version 3 or 4 at all, and version 5 is a bit to manly or strong for me, sorry nothing personal.. but i really appreciate you working for me

[BlueCherryGraphics]

OK, initially you had posted that you wanted a signature...did you decide you wanted something different? Otherwise, I can only use script fonts that look like a signature - and that 'you could do yourself' if you had them. :)

Just trying to be sure what you're looking for; if you can point to some examples or clarify the signature part, I'd be happy to try again.

[brabtayl]

yes i wrote if i needed an ' icon' i would like a signature, not so much for my name, you can see what i mean by signature icon by going here http://www.bwphotos.net/index2.php notice how she has her initials as if she wrote them, this is what i mean by a signature. I know it's very hard to explain what you mean in text format, but i was really hoping to have something new that isn't seen all over the internet today ( not saying that is what you did, just clarifying what i mean) ill scroll through the design outpost to try and get some examples of what i like
again thanks so much

[BlueCherryGraphics]

OK; got it. I didn't know you were open to initials, etc. - I thought you meant full signature.

Will post more ideas later today.

Thanks!

[brabtayl]

sorry Jennifer my fault, i should have written that, more so for initials for an icon, ill correct it in the above summary

[BlueCherryGraphics]

No problem; I'll post some other ideas as well today too as initials are pretty prevalent in photographer logos and you want something to differentiate yourself from other photographers, as you said.

[brabtayl]

ok here's one i spotted, i like whats happening in this thread... like i said, i want to be different, like no one else's so if anyone can put their own twist if you want to try this http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16023

i like the way her initials have the fancy scroll ( i don't necessarily want a scroll) and i also love the icon next to her name further on down the page.
like i said, im open to something new and totally different to what has been seen before, also open to colours, i love earthy colours, and also blues

[BlueCherryGraphics]

V6 another try; may be too whimsical

[brabtayl]

HI Offbeat, thanks so much for your design, im not keen on how ' 'plain' the writing is. i especially don't like the km in the box, may if we were to do this box, the initials would have to be lowercase?
i also don't like the burgundy colour or orange that has been used so far.

I do like the colours im using on my site so far

[brabtayl]

OHHHH.. yes yes yes jennifer i love that graphic , im not really a pink person but i do like that.. im not keen on the font for my name though can we also try boutique photography with stunning.creative.unique with this one, i LOVE it.. it's going along the right lines.. thank you

[BlueCherryGraphics]

V7 not sure on fonts or colors, so if these aren't right just let me know and I'll post more ideas.

[brabtayl]

i am really lovin that kind of graphic jennifer, i love the colours also, im still unsure on the fonts though, they aren't making me go wow like the graphic is... maybe have the stunning creative unique in lighter colour blue to match the graphic, and boutique photography in fancy writing in the same colour as my name?, and try italic on the creative, and bold on the unique? and a . rather then a | in between ? ok i have to go to bed it's 5.22am here, i can't wait to get up and see some more.. thanks

[brabtayl]

just wondering if anyone else is working on this?

[brabtayl]

[glyphica]

Project Update: This project has been moved to the Revisions Forum.

[BlueCherryGraphics]

Hi,

Thanks for selecting my design...do you need any changes?

[brabtayl]

Hi Jennifer, i would just love the graphic , is it possible to change colours when i need to?..i only use CS3.

[brabtayl]

Hi jennifer, id love to get this finished as soon as possible, i have some marketing that is waiting to be ordered.
thanks

[BlueCherryGraphics]

Do you have Illustrator, or Photoshop (or both)?

Do you just want a layered file for the icon itself?

[BlueCherryGraphics]

Kelly,

Please check your private messages for files and a question.

Thanks! :)

[brabtayl]
