Photography Logo

[artilleryatx]

Hey guys, My friend Nate asked me to design a logo for him he wanted something ECO-FRIENDLY looking and modern. So this is my first go at it, please critique would be appreciated.

I think the mark is lovely.

Is the word photography in the same font as above? I ask this because the logo and the main text is very round. But the o's in photography aren't perfect circles.

There are a few spacing issues though. Try and make all the gaps exactly the same size. I've marked in yellow the spots that are a bit awkward.

I'm totally happy. I give you an A+ :)

[artilleryatx]

You can graduate from my school with flying colours then :)

I really like the white reverse one on the photos. I think it looks epic. Why did you pick red and green for the normal coloured logo?

[artilleryatx]

I saw a cup from a coffee shop that my gf went to that was some type of recycled paper with the red and green on it, and they just complimented each other so well... also i think they are great eco-friendly colors very muted very recycled.

I really like the concept because the first thing it made me think of was the shape of the canisters in a film camera...

yeah i really wanted to convey an abstract idea of photography while still using his initials. Im glad that it comes through. thank you for the input.

[Randomhero]

I like it a lot. The image conveys the message very well.

[NTLemon]

Very cool. Fits in with the photography and his initials. Has a very retro feel as well.

It's great, looks really nice on top of the photo's as well. Nice job.

reminds me of the logo for the city of Montréal ;)

oooh looks very nice! ... my input would be try using very subtle shadow where the red and green intercept/overlap.... may look good

Why?

K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Print that on a pen with the "subtle shadow", and you wont see it at all.

[artilleryatx]

haha yeah many revisions.


As far as the shadow goes this is a very flat logo and to add depth in one spot would not compliment the feel of the rest of the logo. thank you though.

I agree.

very nice.

that will look great on a lot of stuff, camera bags, hats and such.

[Danger_Mouse]

Good logo.

Your avatar and sig colors make me ill though.:confused:

[Randomhero]

I like them, a bit hard on the eyes perhaps :p , but well done.

[JuanBossa]

I've been lurking around here for some time but I had to compliment your work, I really like it, especially the final result, very clean and simple.

That long exposure photo with the final logo in white should look great. (please post it if you can ;) )


btw, avant garde, right??? just wanted to know, very good use of typography

[radiohead1075]

Very nice... although I am not a big fan of giving lowercase letters large amounts of letter spacing – as used here in the word photography. Did you try it in uppercase?
