Why can't I come up with a design for a logo....

[Josh66]

I would try to keep it as simple as possible.

On the one you posted just above, I would maybe move 'photography' down a little so it isn't overlapping the letters of 'imaging'...

Is that not simple? I'm just throwing ideas around. I have a couple more I'll post too

 

[Josh66]

Yeah, that's what I liked about it - I just meant that I wouldn't worry about trying to make it more 3D or anything.

 

[Ub3rdoRK]

Hmm good feedback. Thanks

Graphic designers post threads about photographers designing logos, like photographers post threads about graphic designers photographing weddings.

Hire a graphic designer

well like ive said before I wont be shelling out hundreds of dollars at this time for a logo when a website isnt even established yet either.... I just need it for a couple of things like a blog and some websites referring to my page as well.

Heres another one I kind of threw together....not sure about the font though.

PLEASE....don't use an aperture/blade graphic. :thumbdown:

And this is why i suck.

^ What she said. Or stick to a very simple design. Basic font, B&W, typed in a straight line. I think this is a better option than making a logo that looks unprofessional.

I did contact him. I guess I should edit my posting....

I basically wanted some ideas to be thrown out possibly with basic examples and if it was helpfull I would pay a little bit of money. I know $50 is a good deal, but maybe im being too picky.

I was in the same boat as you, it took me a while but I came up with something that I like, and it has gotten some recognition by prospective clients.

Mine is really simple, I just made a box (colored it gray), placed a W (in white) on the lower right hand side, and then typed in the company name underneath the box (in black). Check out my website or flickr, and you'll see it. I can't upload it on her, bc I am not at home.

Wow that's excellent. I like it a lot.

Send me $1,000 and I'll do it for you. Five choices.

$50 may be a good deal and maybe it is a waste of money. All depends on how creative this person is and how much they know about printing. I've seen great designs that couldn't be printed at less than totally outrageous prices. Which, I guess, means it wasn't such a hot design.

You could get lucky and find a new designer who is hungry but, as is most often the case, you get what you pay for.

Your design sucks. Don't mean to be mean but what you are saying you want and the way it looks are so far apart that it isn't even funny.

I'll just give you one reason: Aren't imaging and photography kind of redundant?
