New photography business needs sleek, modern logo!

Stephen Flynn Photography

Beautiful digital photography for live events, parties, workshops, immersion programs, for small businesses, fundraisers, outdoor activities plus portraiture for singles, couples & families.

No gradients please. Avoid 'SF' since I'm from the bay area and it's so strongly associated with San Francisco and its sports teams.

What I'd like this logo to convey is a degree of motion, speed and/or 'flash' while maintaining a professional typeface, look and feel. Think like 'making the jump into hyperspace' or accelerating really rapidly.

Motion, speed and 'flash' are important ideas here because one of my biggest value adds as a photographer is a really, really fast turnaround time. Whereas other photographers might take weeks or longer to turn around photos, my customers have a set of amazing photos in just a few days. The fact that they get their photos back so quickly means that they can get images back onto their website and onto social media and that they can to take advantage of whatever momentum they've built with their audiences while it's still fresh in everyone's minds and they can drive that audience to re-engagement.

I hope this helps! :-)

This logo should be somewhat recognizable even as a small watermark in the corner of a photo. It should also steer clear of gradients, as they tend to look distorted when uploaded to Facebook. I tend to like sleek, modern designs more than classic or retro.
