What colors would you like?

I'm open to any combination of colors, so long as the design remains relatively clean and not overly loud. Colors I like include; black, white, grey, dark/rich reds, subtle yellows, really dark (nearly black) blues.

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

Photography is about capturing and manipulating light. This is just a suggestion, but it might be interesting to incorporate light in the design. It should be a subtle effect that compliments, rather than overpowers, the design.

I'll also be using this logo as a watermark on my photographic prints, so when rendered small it needs to be clearly readable without being a distraction.

#188 - Love how my initials work around (instead of over) the "photography" text, but I prefer the initials you used in #113. Can you merge the #113 initials into the #188 style????

#209 - The red initials are too bright...sort of looks like blood. A more subdued or faded red would be much better.

#113 - This is in my top 5, but I'd like to see a few variations where "photography" is a little bit nearer to "Jarrod Bruner". I'd also like to see a couple additional options using different cursive-style fonts for the "JB". Be sure to keep that somewhat faded, pen-like look though. Thanks.

#141 - I'm strongly considering this design. Can you try a couple variations where the cursive initials aren't solid but are a bit faded and look more like they were written with an ink pen?

#151 - first design to successfully incorporate "light". Super nice! I'm curious about the extra set of initials below the main logo? Why is that there? Also, when printing photos for clients, about half the time I'll have my logo printed on black matte board and half on white. This logo would work nicely on black but wouldn't really work on white. How can that be solved - one version using neutral colors that work on black or white? Or maybe a black background version and a white version?

#140 - I like the faded, cursive initials but the color looks a little pink. I also don't care for "photography" being the same color as the cursive initials. Can you try one with "photography" in silver and the cursive initials in a darker (but still a little faded) red?

#138 - quite nice, but I don't care for the red dots between each letter in photography. It would be interesting to see this design modified so that the JB initials were in a subtle red or gold.

#96 - One of my favorites, but I don't care for the red dot separating Jarrod and Bruner. I also prefer the J you used in #36 to the one you used here.

#107 - The unevenly curved red line is really nice, but I don't care for the "jarrod bruner" font. Can you combine the red line in this design with the other elements in #97?

#105 - Very cool, but the initials are too large. Can you create a version that's about half as "tall"?

#90 - I really like this one. But the effect on the bottom of the J (where the "ink" gets a bit thicker) looks a little muddy. I like the texture and depth that the variance in "ink" provides, but it would be nice if didn't look quite so rough. Hopefully that makes sense.

#76 - Nice, but there's too much red. I'd prefer the design to feature silver, white, or black with just a touch of color (gold or red).

#41 - I like the jagged red line, but the font used for the JB initials looks like something a serial killer would use...which isn't exactly the message I want to send to my clients.

#37 - interesting, but I don't care for the blue color at all and the B inside the logo doesn't really look like a B.

#21 - I like the initials, but the "Jarrod Bruner" and "photography" text are too similar, hard to read, and don't jump out.
