Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience:
Older, school age children & toddlers

Who would you like to add to your audience?
newborns, seniors, families. Higher-end clintele

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Something that really reflects who I am, as well as my style in photography. Bright, fun, modern, funky, yet clean and not immature. I like simple, nothing to busy or big. Also, preferably something that has a signature watermark as well.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
I love bright colors that really stand out in your memory, so I'd like to incorporate teal/bright blue, a hot pink, a bright green, brown or black.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
I'm actually open to this. I dont have a specific symbol that I lean towards. I really love circles and dots. I also like little birdies and owls. This element is important to me, as it should be able to stand alone as well as with my logo.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?

Worth your time and money. Professional yet fun and modern. Not something to childish, but not boring and bland either.


What is your tagline or slogan?
N/A

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?

That I have more to offer than my competitors. That I'm worth their time and money and in exchange, will provide exceptional service in a professional manner.

Where will your new logo be used?
On online(blog, website, watermarking photos), print & marketing materials

Competitive Positioning:

Strong, memorable style.A fun, upbeat atmosphere and attitude as well as strong work.

State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Memorable. Creative. Modern. Fun.

Paula- I LOVE your version 1 and 2!! The owl is so adorable and I like the colors!
In V1 & V2, would it be possible to see this on either side? Also, a different font. The "photography" more script?

Pracus- I love the dots! Woud it be possible to try some different fonts?

DominicaRain

Also, I like swirls and flowers(daisies, dandelions) and would be open to that aspect as well!

My DH just suggested an owl perched on an umbrella. Is that a possibility?

Paula- I totally adore the umbrella/owl design! Paticularly V4. I'm not fond of the dots in the umbrella or the font.
On V4, can I see it in some different fonts, maybe something more like this- http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3496/3249064383_a8c7dc0a28_o.jpg
And do you have any other owls? I'd like to see this version maybe with the umbrella at an angle or over the Rain part.

I also still like V2,with a different font. Can an owl go into a big circle or maybe instead of dots, swirls?

Thank you so much for your time on this,I appreciate it!

Wow paula! Amazing job! The owl in v6 and v7 is excatly what I was thinking!!! I really am drawn to both of these versions alot. In version 7, is the owl able to come as a seperate file so I can use it without the logo(such as for stickers,labels,ect?).
If no other designers join in by Thursday, I'll definetly be choosing between these 2! Would it be possible to see the owl in 7 in the same circle as 5?

In version 6, can the owl be perched on the rain and holding the umbrella?

Paula23
02-04-2009, 07:56 AM
Here you go!
Yes, a separate file for the stand alone icon would be provided.
I'll show you the Owl holding the umbrella asap:)

Version 9 is PERFECT!! I'd love to use V9 and you as my designer!
Where do I go from here??

DominicaRain

I reallly love it. I think the only revision is the R to be capatilized in rain and photography in a more script/cursive font!

Paula23
02-04-2009, 08:44 AM
Awesome! I'm so glad that you like it:)
We're in the Revisions Forum now so I'll get started on the revisions.
As far as the cursive font, is that for "Dominica Rain" or "Photography"

Thanks!

DominicaRain

Paula23
02-04-2009, 09:19 AM
Yes, I will give you the owl as separate files:)
Here are a few font options for "Photography"
Let me know if you like any of them.
