Photographer's Logo - Babies, Weddings, Portrait

FK7 Photography

No

My studio has been in business for over five years and a rebranding is now in order. I am a young, energetic photographer in my mid-twenties. The logo should reflect that energy and modern look. I love contrast. My work is often punchy.

I'd like the logo to convey a message of modernity, style and elegance.

The logo will help shape the rebranding of the studio Color combos I like, though I am open to new styles. No more than 3 colors per design (except gradients). Not looking for multicolor/rainbow styled logos. Colors I like: red/gray/black orange/white/charcoal My current logo used blue/white/gray but I grew tired of it after five years, and I find it too traditional. Current logo: http://www.fcphotog.com/fclogos.jpg

I prefer boxy designs over wavy and circular, though a boxy font with a wavy emblem can look nice (contrast between the two).

Though the business used to be called "Francis Cossette Photography", I've renamed the studio "FK7 Photography". "F" stands for Francis, "K7" pronounced in French sounds almost identical to my last name's pronunciation. Therefore, "FK7" are my initials, with an original twist.

I would like the "FK7" part of the logo (could be an emblem, embossed text, textured text, etc.) to be able to stand alone as a watermark on pictures without the "photography" part attached to it all the time. The FK7 should be modern looking, stylish, but CLEAN. I do not like busy looking logos.

I like symmetry.

Logos must stand out on white/pale/light gray background, but must also remain visible on busy/darker backgrounds.

I've imagined "FK7" in a fat/bolder font type. No script-like font (my current logo uses it).

Here is what I DO NOT want:
Any aperture-like symbols

Here are logos I came across I liked:

    I'd like to point out that while I like twirly/wavy textures, if it's too obvious we're looking at a plant, it will not work. I am not a botanist.

    The contest has been extended by three days because there are a few designs that I really like, but nothing has floored us yet. We definitely prefer circular emblems over boxy ones, and prefer abstract presentations of the "FK7" portion. Things to note: FK7 must appear in the proper order (F, K and then 7), and FK7 must be decipherable on some level. Top contenders (in no particular order): #260/#261/#262/#252 #156 #191/#190 #126 #63 Keep in mind the emblem must be visible and not too obtrusive as a watermark.

    Attention Designers!! MycroBurst permits you to submit unlimited designs with unlimited variations. However, if you are providing 2 or 3 different color versions of the same logo in one draft, please make sure that if the particular draft gets finalized, each color version should be separated before you will send the final files. Thanks, MB/LDG/LS Team

    After going through all ~100 designs, I've come to realize the following: -Any "squared" emblem or "FK7" inside a box designs are not to my liking, and should probably be avoided. -I prefer abstract presentations of "FK7" -Though I like orange, it is too punchy and should be avoided from now on -Olive green/gray or red/white are still favorite color combos -Avoid blue Current 4 stars selections are among favorites. #92, #63 and #83 among top choices so far. Thank you!

    I'd also like to point out that emblems that are overly big will not work (like #80). If used as a watermark, it would distract too much. Thanks!

    Thanks for all the submissions so far! Things to point out: -Anything that incorporates aperture rings, camera-like shapes or forms will be eliminated. Thousands of logos use those, it's too clichéd. -So far, all the logos presenting the "FK7" in abstract shapes or forms have been my favorite. I'll be rating submissions accordingly until the end, and will send feedback via PM to those designs I like and think would merit revisions. Thank you!

    #20 - doesn't work for us, but thank you for the submission. #21 - Looks better in green, good idea. I would make the "FK7" the same font as "photography" but keep the same accent color. The lack of symmetry between the two words take away from the elegant emblem you designed. I'd like to see it in a more olive green color too. One of my favorite submissions so far along with #11.

    #17 - Not opposed to abstract shapes appearing in the logo, but it doesn't work for me. #18 - The emblem is moving in the good direction, but it's still too flowery. Flowery textures that accent the logo are good because they add a slight feminine touch (and since the brides are usually the ones who look for the photographer, a slight feminine touch is warranted). But since the emblem is the first thing you look with this design, the feminine look overpowers the masculine. If that makes any sense. I much prefer the text font of #14, though. Thank you!

    #15 - Don't like the font, and the camera-like ring is too ordinary #16 - Too simple, do not like graffiti-like or brush-like fonts Thanks for the submissions!

    #10-#11 Very nice! #14 Love the concept and elaborate emblem, but the flower is too feminine. Thank you again for your submissions!

    #6-7: I like the symmetry a lot, but I'd like to see some textures inside the emblem (something along the lines of the "h" in the branding of hofferphotography) rather than simple gradients, to add a layer of sophistication #8-9: I love the shape but the 7 is easy to miss if you don't know to look for it. Very good first drafts though, thank you very much!

    Forgot to add I also like olive green/white/gray combos (like Tony Hoffer's branding: http://hofferphotography.com/blog/)
