You logo design is your company’s ambassador to the world, ie. your potential customers. And there’s lots of potential for creativity when it comes to designing a fantastic logo for a new photographer!
After all, you’re embarking on a creative business.
So you’ll almost certainly find inspiration in these thirty awesome photography logos.
Family Photography Logos
This elegant logo evokes positive feelings and happiness. It’s perfect for a family-oriented photography business.
Another cute family-friendly logo with an animal mascot
This logo uses a stylized line drawing to show the type of photography offered by the photographer.
This is a soft and feminine logo which indicates a photographer who specializes in both families and infant photography.
Classy Photography Logos
This logo doesn’t necessarily have to be for a photographer (it was created for a post production company) but it is very evocative of destination photography.
A classic wordmark logo, this is a concept that could easily be adapted for any photographer. The typeface is easy to read, classic in feel, and yet still stands out from the crowd.
This emblematic logo looks as though the photographer has already won at least one award! It’s a nice, classy look, if a little dark to read.
This is an extremely simple, reductive take on a camera logo. It’s pretty amazing what can be done with just a few lines.
Wilderness Photography Logos
This logo uses the “shutter” impression as the setting for a dramatic backdrop. It’s a modern logo that uses a few different stylistic elements, including geometric shapes to create the feel of nature.
A lot of the “wilderness photography” style logos rely heavily on dramatic landscapes, such as this mountain range. But it’s different enough to stand out from the crowd, and the border around it with the company name sets it apart from its background.
This one is a great idea for a logo, because it’s so simple and reductive. It’s instantly memorable, and can be used on all sorts of backgrounds. The simplicity alone sets it apart from a lot of other wilderness photography logos.
Camera Inspired Logos
This black and white representation of a classic camera wouldn’t be the easiest or simplest to render in various types of print. But it’s beautiful to look at!
Another basic logo idea, this one makes it clear what this business is all about! This logo circumvents a lot of the evocative, abstract qualities that these types of logos often demonstrate, opting instead for a straightforward, easy to remember and recognize choice.
This logo incorporates both a business name and an icon that is designed to be used on its own if that’s what the photographer prefers. It has a simple structure that is both clean and classic.
Wedding Photography Logos
This logo evokes a gentle, peaceful feeling which is a great idea considering that it’s based around a happy but stressful event! The camera outlines incorporate a couple in between them.
This logo for a wedding film/photo company incorporates “film reels” as the two rings. I especially like how it shows clearly against the dark background.
A romantic take on a wedding-focused wordmark logo.
This wedding photography logo uses the outline of a camera and combines it with the silhouette graphic of a diamond ring.
Event Photography Logos
This event business logo is a simple, minimalist take on a camera-centric logo. It uses curvature that is deceptively simple and draws in the eye of the viewer.
Very evocative of a photo booth type production, this vintage-inspired logo is both intriguing and a little on the weird side. For a creative concern, neither of those are bad.
This logo combines a vintage bus with a camera lens to show that the photographer travels for business. It’s a great look.
“Figure” logos, which use the outline of a person, are popular ways to “personalize” (no pun intended) the company. This one also incorporates a camera for the head of the figure, giving it a little extra difference.
Food Photography Logos
A great take on a classic look.
This logo looks like something belonging to an Instagram influencer. Perfect for a photographer seeking to find a niche in social media.
A cute logo with the cameraman that will definitely make the viewer smile.
This creative logo can instantly make your smile. It combines photography with food and delivers the message effectively.
Unique Photography Logos
I just like this one. It’s quirky, it’s different, and it gets the point across. A logo like this will definitely set you apart!
Lettermarks are big business in the design world. This logo incorporates a very simple, clear ‘C’ silhouette, with a soothing and warm color.
This quirky little hand-drawn logo is impossible not to like, though it may be a little out-there for a traditional family photographer.
A letterpress type logo which incorporates the outline of a bike as well as a camera, this idea could be adapted for photographers with a different focus.
