Hi there ... I really like this play on the word Art, appears young and fresh, so thanks, didn't see this coming ! I will come back to it I'm sure, but I envisaged something with another colour perhaps in there, rather than just the grey and white

Another criteria may be that we would want embroidered shirts, not sure how this would work as a stitched logo.

Hi nhr ... I think the first one is perhaps a tad corporate, I do like the green. The second one is perhaps a little too plain.

Guys ... thanks for these so far.

I was really looking for something stronger in terms of focusing on the word "Artisan" - meaning: 'a worker in a skilled trade, esp. one that involves making things by hand'

We are completely open to any concept just now, as we did not have any real preconceived ideas, but we need the logo to represent us as artists, as photographers who are passionate about what we do.

I'd still like to see a play on the Art in Artisan but not necessarily just that words in caps

I am also happy to see other colours introduced, the grey green was merely a starting point of an idea.

Happy also to see an introduction of a graphic symbol if that perhaps enhances the logo?

Thinking out loud really ... would love to see some more designs :)

Thanks again !

Thanks to everyone so far ... and to Abby for the extension ...

I like the feel of the 2 from you Tina ... something different there ... however, I liked the previous greens and greys rather than the bluish colour you have gone with ... I'd maybe lilke to see the second one with the art in bold as it looks sort of lost there?

Kekepania .. the frst one is my favourite but it is very similar to the very first design up top, which I do still prefer

That first design, I would love to see it in a different colour as I think the plain grey is a tad incipid

The last design ... I guess this is initially what I had in mind, the scrolly, old-fashioned A, but after seeing some modern twists I prefer those

I hope this makes sense ... feedback is not my strongpoint :(

Thanks again everyone

Tina ... is there any chance I could see your version 2 with the art in bold ... it's grabbing me, but not quite there yet

Thanks Taldo ... we will discuss these ... thanks for the options :)

Thanks everyone ... I am going to circulate this to the team and we will get back asap !

Tina ... number 12 ... I would love to see this with a stronger colour and maybe the Art slightly stronger to pull it out

Can we try the word Photos entirely outside the circle ... I am thinking the circle is implying a camera iris so I quite like that, but I think everything is merging together and so I would like to see some definition

I realise we are way over time, but I just want to see a couple of tweaks ... there are a couple I am interested in, so thank you all for the designs

Tina ... Number 24 ... I am not keen on the green, can I see a couple of different options, I am thinking not as bold as it looks like a C (Cartisan Photos !) - if softer it will look more like an embellishment :)

Thanks

Tina ... number 13 ... can I see the art a bit bolder but all the colours exactly the same?

Thanks

To add ... sorry, am catching up on protocol ... I would like to award this to Tina but I would like to work on some revisions as I think we are close, but not quite there yet

Many thanks

Sorry for being slow coming back to you, I am in Tuscany til the weekend ... yes, this is more along the lines I was thinking
