Brief Summary

Photography/Boutique

Looking for a logo design that is inspiring. Something that makes me feel some type of emotion without just glancing past it.

Our shots are mostly of children and highschool seniors. We specialize in fresh, fun emotion filled tight crop headshots. Our photo jewelry and photo handbags are huge sellers. Our target audience is 30 something Mom's.

Revision: I would like to see a cresent moon or whimsical trees as possible symbols (maybe both?). But Im not opposed to seeing all ideas that bare a different direction. I also realize the harm in looking to much like a cliche (with known symbols)...so please use your imagination here to make it different.

Move me. Inspire me.

I want to feel emotion through your design.

I want a warm, cozy feeling when I look at it.

I like creative, clever and witty plays.

See attached description for more information...

    Do you want a logo design, business card design, banner and stationary designs? Or a logo design that can be used on business cards, banners and stationary?

    Pegatinas - Good question sorry for the confusion. They can all be the same design. However, the watermark may need to be on a smaller more refined scale. I would like the tag line used in the banner,stationary and business cards. Not sure how it would look added to a logo and or watermark. Would it be too much? Not sure.
    Please use your discretion. Im sure you guys know what looks more appropriate and to scale. Thanks!

    Actually, I think I've made it more confusing.
    In your brief, under "description", you have logo, business cards, banner and stationary. BUT, you just want us to design a logo, correct? And then the logo will go on the other media mentioned.
    Trying not to sound cheap here, but designing a stationary package, logo and banner for the price will not draw in too many entrants.
    I apologize if this sounds rude in any way.

    To clarify: Vector logo design and watermark needed.

    My concern here is that I would like the tag line to be used in other media (business card, stationary, banner). Im not sure if it could fit into the logo. If it can great, if not...do I need two designs? Im pretty new to all of this so I appreciate all of your insight and feedback.

    Please don't apologize, you were tactful and it was a justified comment.

    Hey Guys...

    Thanks for all of your creative ideas.

    I just wanted to give some more general input. I would really love to see some more designs done in warm, autumn colors. I want a warmer feeling...not so corporate. A little softer. A little more fluid. A little more 'cozy' feeling. I also want to see maybe a sexier font.

    Again, thanks for all your continuous work and effort. Each one is very much appreciated.

    -S

    HELP!

    Can anyone try this idea I have in mind. A tree trunk bending around the left side of the 'S'. Starting either below it or in front of it and the leaves and branches sweeping over the top of 'Show'. I like whimsical looking trees. I love fall color leaves. I would like to see something I love incorporated in the design. My favorite element (trees) might appeal to me. I want to relate to the symbol.

    Im overwhelmed by the time and effort each of you has taken to try to come up with an image that fits my needs.

    I love this place. You guys are awesome!

    After much debate and sleepless nights...I'm finally ready to announce the winner.

    First though, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for inspiring me with such unique and creative design work. I realize it's hard when I didn't give a ton of direction...but you all forged ahead. The time and effort you took on each of the ones submitted was noticable. Thank you for going above and beyond for me.

    I have decided to go in a direction that I wasn't plaaning on...using an inital icon. So for that reason alone, and without further ado, I am choosing...drum roll please...
