Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Mulberry Photographic

What type of product or service do you offer?
Contemporary wedding photography.

How long have you been in business?
New start up.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
Establish a brand for use across all marketing (web, print etc..) that reflects my style (contemporary, stylish, timeless documentary style images) and differentiates me from the much of the local competition (part-time/lacking professional image or brand).

What are your long term goals?
Establish a premier wedding photography business - so no pressure there then.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
Friday 9th Jan

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
New start up.

Who would you like to add to your audience?
Sophisticate, high-end couples who want to work with a photojournalistic/artistic wedding photographer.
Those who are looking for something different from the run of the mill group shots outside the church.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Simple or clean - something that portrays contemporary, classy and timeless. I don't want anything that is cheesy so please no cameras or oddly enough anything overtly photography related.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Aubergine - no specific reason other than I like it! I am open to suggestions at this stage, this will be the starting point for other material material so nothing is set in stone.

Things I'd prefer to avoid - dark blues and a red and black combo.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Open minded within the criteria stated above.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
Beauty, classic, yet modern.

What is your tagline or slogan?
Don't have one at present.

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
Beautiful, classy, timeless photography, yet modern and professional.

Where will your new logo be used?
Across all material - website and printed

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
Much of what I have seen could be described at best as dated, or at worst as amateur.
Hence I want something to compliment my work and to stand out from the competition.

List competitive URLs if possible

What sets you apart from your competitors?
Not the traditional wedding photography.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Borrowed from a previous poster - but I liked it - 'Creatively marrying art and photojournalism.'

Aside from the above, I just wanted to thank you in advance for any work submitted - after finding this site through a referral I have been hugely impressed by the standards produced by the talented individuals working here.

Glyphica,

Many thanks for getting things started with a great idea - really like it and more importantly so does my business partner, my wife!

Looking forward to seeing what other ideas people come up with.

Nutscreative,

Thanks for posting. I'm on UK time so apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

Much prefer version 02 - not so sure about the representation of the fruit in #01.

Couple of general points re: colours - for main colour I think I prefer the darker colour used by glyphica (PMS518 I think). Also would be interested to see an alternative to yellow - i'm not a huge fan of this when printing.

Thanks again

Rob

Offbeat,

Thanks for posting.

Liking the colour in version 01, and would like to see it in combination for something with PMS 7477 that you have used in versions 02 & 03.

The cube and fruit don't work for me - would prefer something a bit more abstract if that makes sense.

I do like the font that you have used for the Mulberry #3 but not sure about it for the whole word. Do you think it would work using this for the 'M' and the 'P' of mulberry photographic, but having those letters oversized. If not with that exact font than maybe something similar?

Hope this makes sense

Thanks again

Rob

Offbeat - thank you for the revisions - I think #5 is my favourite of these.

Brunocalvin - thank you for posting - I can't make my mind up on this one, is it possible to see it with the a lighter stroke on the font?

Nutscreative - thank you for the revisions - from these i prefer #5, but I am unsure about using an ornate font for the whole of 'mulberry'

Thanks again

Happy new year!

Many thanks to everyone and apologies for lack of respose over the festive season but with Christmas, my wifes birthday and our aniversary over the last two weeks I for one have been distracted.

I hope that you have each had an opportunity for a break and an enjoyable time.

With regards to the designs put forward to date, I am currently torn between glyphica's version 1 (the initial post) and blue cherry graphics version 1.

Giant - I much prefer your second attempt, but I am still not quite sure if it is for me.

Xpressions - I like this, but is it possible to see it with a different secondary colour?

Once again - thank you for your efforts to date and I would welcome seeing any further suggestions before the close on Friday.

Regards

Rob

Pracus - many thanks, but I think this is a little too ornate for me personally

Expressions - thank you for the different size/layout options - I like the variation in #1.4

Taldo - many thanks, a couple of thoughts on this, I favour the darker colour options that have been used previously and whilst I fully understand the reasoning, behind it and your use of it is more discreet, I am also unsure about the fruit

Thanks again
Rob

Hello,

First of all, many thanks to everyone who submitted work and I am grateful for your time and effort.

I am happy to announce that the concept that I have chosen to go with is Jennifer Johnson's work from Blue Cherry Graphics.

If possible I'd appreciate the artwork as an eps file. Also whilst I understand that you do not supply the fonts with the work, could you please advise which fonts were incorporated so that where possible I can utilise these across the board for consistency.

If there are any problems please just let me know.

Thanks again

Rob
