Perception/Tone/Guidelines:

I want something whimiscal, yet sophiscated. Something that is hip, fresh, colorful, fun, but not too cutsey. I want to be unique and classy but still show my fun side!

I have a logo right now, and I loved it for a long time, but feel that it is just a bit too cutsey for me now. I am ready to ditch the ladybugs!

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)

I really like the colors in my current logo and would like to keep them:

4E360A-----this one is used only a small ammount.
FFAD4D
FB52A3
54BFDF
BCBA1A
FEE320

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?

Maybe a vintage (but colorful) camera or modern (colorful) squares or a colorful umbrella.

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

What is your tagline or slogan?

Finding The Art In Life

I would like to incorporate my tagline in the logo

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

That I am an artistic, yet fun photographer, full of fresh and unique ideas.

Where will your new logo be used?

website, blog, promotional materials, packaging, watermark

State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company

hi

[AngelaC]

Hi Carol,

I like the color combinations a lot. Could I see what it would look like with the word 'photography' bigger?

[OffbeatDesign]

[OnTheSpot]

here's my shot

[shnickerdoodle studios]

One from me.... A more sophisticated pinwheel....
Thanks,
Deanna

[AngelaC]

Offbeat Design, Jeff, I like the simpleness of the fonts and I like the colors but I'm not too fond of the pin wheel. Can I see a few varaitions?

On the Spot, I love how my name looks but I'm not diggin the box that the pin wheel is in.

Deanna, I'm liking this a lot! The color scheme and pinweheel are great!

[OnTheSpot]

my 2nd attempt...

[Taldo]

[OnTheSpot]

version 3

[OnTheSpot]

and a slight deviation of the last..

[AngelaC]

Offbeat Design, really diggin versions 2 and 3b!

Carol, version 2 is really awesome! Can I see some varations of the placement of the squares? Maybe try the squares on the bottom left hand side of the logo?

[OffbeatDesign]

[AngelaC]

Jeff, love the new pinwheel!

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Another from me....Thanks, Deanna

[shnickerdoodle studios]

One more...Thanks, Deanna

[AngelaC]

Ohhh, Deanna, I really like version 3!

[shnickerdoodle studios]

small variation on 3...

[Unorthodox]

pinwheel/photo shutter concept

[AngelaC]

ooo, Deanna, version 4 is wonderful!!

Unorthodox, I see where you are going with the concept, but I think it lost the "fun" feel of my style of work. It almost seems too....corporate.

[Unorthodox]

thanks for the quick feedback! i agree, i went through the corporate road this time i will submit something shortly!

[Unorthodox]

.

[AngelaC]

Unorthodox, I like it, but don't think it is the direction I would like to go in.


Here's a thought that I was just throwing around in my mind:

I collect vintage cameras and I was thinking it would be neat to try out a design with a vintage (but colorful) camera.

I would love to see a few different designers try this idea out!

[OnTheSpot]

I had just finished this one when you posted so ill try something w/ a vintage camera later

[OnTheSpot]

different color variation of the above...

[AngelaC]

On The Spot, I LOVE version 4! It's so whimiscal!

ETA: just saw 4b, I like them both!

[OnTheSpot]

thanks angela. ill try to come up with some similar concepts for the antique camera as well

[OnTheSpot]

here's a camera

[AngelaC]

Awesome!!
