Business Logo and Symbol for "JP Photography"

Design Text

Symbol of design to be JP with "ulie" & "etty" incorporated & word "photography"

Tagline

Only if you consider the word Photography as a tag line to the artsy symbol with initials and script

Include this tagline in my logo.

Describe who/what this design is about

Start up photography business hoping to grow. Will be photographing family/children. I am young female. Want it to pop off page and be unique. It needs to appeal to mothers, but not isolate male population by being too feminine. I will need a logo for top of website and the symbol of it to place on advertised photos in boutiques. LOVE some of the examples of photographers in your contests running now. NO images of drawn cameras in logo. I think that is redundant.

What colors would you like?

My initial thoughts were black, white, and lime green? I also like red, turquoise, and possible pink. Absolutely no red and pink together. My template webpage is grayscale at the moment, so color scheme is wide open. I want colors to be vivid, and distinctive. Want it to pop off page and be eyecatching, yet not too over the top.

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

I really like the idea with the initals big as a symbol with cursive, scripty, cool writing mixed in to complete my name. Even so much that on first glance you may not realize it even has "ulie" & "etty" to complete my name on the symbol. Very important in logo to have photography word in there as well. NO generic camera clipart. Like more uniqueness with color and font. Up for any colors, just don't want to turn off moms with boys thinking I'm only into photographing females.

Since I had a few designers who lived on the other side of the globe, there was some miscommunication and time issues. I feel by extending the contest by three days, I will give those who worked so tirelessly with me a chance to complete the final design. I did have a few to complete theirs as well which I appreciate. But I feel in all fairness, this is the right thing to do. Thank you again for your time and patience.

For those of you still submitting final designs for consideration keep in mind I need it to fit in 1000x100 pixels. Also, color chosen is turquoise with black & white & shades of grey. Would prefer at this point it be put on a sample webpage and the logo placed on photograph with no color on it. I do want a touch or more of turquoise in the heading for the site. Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!! Thanks to EVERYONE!!! It will b one TOUGH decision!!!!

So does anyone know why this contest has basically come to a stand still for last two days? Did I say something wrong? I've tried to be professional and polite in my requests? I've also tried not to single anyone out on anything. I have used the inbox option, but now I'm getting no response? I have a lot of good choices, but I was under the impression it went 7 days? Several of u were working I thought very nicely with me? What happened? I'm so sorry if I offended anyone, but I'm really needing this to come together. It is down to less than two days now!!? Please inbox me if I've offended you or done something wrong? Thank all of you for your hard work and dedication. Please help me finish this.

Ok, y'all are producing too great of work to choose!!! What's a person to do!!! Oh my....!! FYI: I have decided on turquoise as the accent color. Where im having trouble is for the heading of the website, I need the WOW factor with the turquoise accented. Needs to really brand the business. The part going on the picture needs to b more subtle. I like the idea of more of a "signature look" on the photograph. I'm not even sure if this is possible or not to have, but they have to coordinate to keep my "brand" recognizable. I do like the name if my business to be "JP Photography" but I'm still liking the designs submitted with the "ulie" & "etty" in the design. So, if any of you know how to accomplish both, you would make me one happy camper!! I have lots that I love, and will work, but this is what I've been trying to communicate I think. If I'm struggling with anything, it is this. THANK U ALL!!! your work is amazing!! Several of u have submitted several designs and I want u to know I appreciate each and every effort!!! Thanks, Julie!

I have tried to narrow down the choices again, but you guys are making it DIFFICULT. I'm still not sure the direction I want to go, however I am leaning towards mostly black and white with some hint or touch of turquoise or some variations with the color. I would like to see in the variations especially with 5 stars how these designs would translate to an actual photograph. So maybe a variation of it for the top of the website and then an actual photograph example with the design in the lower right corner or something. I would like to see them on a photograph before making any further decisions. There are still some with 4 stars that I really like, but they may be that way due to the "color" especially no royal bright blue. I like turquoise or teal blue. Aqua isn't the shade I'm going for either. Please, take all of this as polite suggestions or requests. I am extremely pleased with all your efforts and would choose 100 if I could! YOu are ALL very talented!! Enjoying working with you. Thanks Julie

On reference to previous post: I was referring more to the font of certain entries not a particular shape. Shapes can't really be considered anyone's original idea I don't think? YOu know, I mean just be respectful and I was only trying to as well. Keep up the great work!!

Good EARLY MORNING to all of you!! HOpe you are doing well....Just want to keep one thing in mind as we go through the rest of the contest. I have several favorites, but I am a little concerned some of you might be taking a detour off of what I liked about yours to begin with because of stars and patterns on others. Let's all stay professional thoughout! This is a great experience and I'm enjoying every minute! I am realizing when some designs are really close to someone elses. Most of you don't have to do that!! YOu R GREAT already!! So just think about it, and I look forward to seeing what tomorrow (well technically today) brings!! THANK YOU ALL!!

I am SO overwhelmed with your hard work and willingness to put your creative juices to work on my project. Unfortunately, I had to start eliminating some just to narrow it down, so I can begin to make a decision. I am trying my best to keep up with the emails, so if anyone would like an explanation or have a question about one, please contact me. Again, I think they are all awesome, but they say I can only have one.....!!! I did not expect such wonderful professionals to work such wonders!! Y'all are FANTASTIC!! (P.S. Don't even know if any of you even read these posts, but I hope so! YOu all have wonderful work!!)
