Photographer needs word mark logo and card

Brian Slaughter

I take photographs and will be showing my work to advertising agencies, design firms, marketing groups and magazines.

I would like to capitalize on the opportunity and exploit my name without being garish. I feel like this is where great design tells the story. Sadly, I feel when it comes to design, the bad is noticed more than good. When something doesn't work, people are more apt to notice than when everything goes smoothly. Good design is easily overlooked and by most unrecognized. It is something that doesn't need embellishment, nor to be flashy. Good design just exists on its own and stands for itself. I am not looking for an iconic design, just a presentation of my name that I can be proud of. As my logo is the splash page on my website, I would like to have it to be a design that will be the introduction and properly set the stage. A design that complements and subdues my name so that in the end the imagery leaves the impression and not the name.

Not interested in a mark or icon. Really just looking for a logotype of my name. Not interested in script or handwriting fonts. I know two of the inspiration include it, but its for the overall design, not the components. Ultimately I am looking for a lasting, refined, straightforward, and unique logotype.
