Michael Frye Photography

Tagline

Include this tagline in my logo.

Describe who/what this design is about

Michael Frye Photography specializes in fine art landscape photography, photo education, print sales, and book publishing. My portfolio is varied, including classic lanscapes, surreal nighttime images, intimate details of nature, and delicate high-key images.

We like the basic idea of our current logo. (View it at www.michaelfrye.com.) The sun, moon, and star symbols suggest light, nature, and the variety of my work (night and day, etc.) But the points (sun rays) on the current logo are too hard - not welcoming and inviting. And the logo does not fit easily into a horizontal banner for the web site. We'd be happy with a redesign of the current logo, using the same sun, moon, and stars idea, but softer, and something that fits better into a web site banner. But we're also open to something completely different.

We're happy with the current cobalt and golden-yellow color scheme for the logo, but again would be open to something different (except maybe red, unless it was a tiny accent). Ideally the colors would work with a dark gray background on a portfolio web page, as well as a lighter background for text-heavy pages.

We're thinking of a symbol, plus the text "Michael Frye Photography." "Michael Frye" should be fairly prominent; "Photography" could be smaller.

We were looking for a new take on the logo we have. Clean, classic font. A design that we can use either stretched across part of the nav bar, or stacked on a business card, brochure, or stationary. While we like the logo have, we felt it needed a fresh start.

PH - Are you just looking for a new font with the logo you already have?

Thanks for all the great new designs. There are some really great choices here. The overall idea is to have a logo design that is distinctive, clean, and eye catching. Since it is my name I also have to feel it reflects my personality. I am giving this more thought so I can provide useful feedback.

Thanks to all the designers - there are some great designs here. Although it doesn't match our preconceived idea, we like #1 as well. It's eye-catching. We really like the treatment of the sun and the overall idea of #26, but would prefer less blocky type, more like #4, #5, or #19.

#5 is probably our favorite so far - clean and eye-catching. It would be nice if this design somehow suggested nature, light, or landscape more explicitly, without being too literal.
