Do you have a logo?

[KmH]

You miss the point, just like most amateur logo designers. Logo design basics - Bing

It's not about what you like. It's about what is effective. It's about about making a symbol that customers can easily relate to and associate with your brand. If you heven't yet established a brand, you have no use for a logo.

FWIW, the colors in your 'lens aperture' instantly brought BMW automobiles to my mind.

Oh, and few of your potential clients know what a lens aperture is, let alone what one looks like.

Most retail photographers hurt their business by having a poorly designed logo rather than not using a logo at all.

The initials as you have rendered them in your logo are laughable. Bad Logos - When Logos Go Bad - Logos that Suck - Bad Logo Design Samples

yea.. cool! LOGO = Instant Professional!...

Nobody think it, I hope A logo is simply a tool for professionals. Like the trolley, like the website, like the business cards, like the blog, like the credential.

Wanna bet.. look around! Check out all the facebook pro's... NICE LOGO.. and lots of crappy photos!

Considering I barely spent any time on mine, really more for fun than anything else, I hope to do just the opposite

A facebook pro? What do you mean?

It's considered an oxymoron. People who market themselves on Facebook rather than having an actual dedicated site of their own, because they know nothing about the business of photography.

A photographer with a website mot likely has a Facebook, but a photographer with a Facebook doesn't always have a website, and therefore they market themselves fairly poorly. That's just what I've noticed.

They also tend to be lacking in the photographic skill department.

I see, thank you!

But not necessarily someone with a logo is a bad photographer, let alone doesn't have a website or doesn't understand the key elements to the business side.

That really depends on your budget and what you are trying to achieve.
