Legacy Begging for a cool photography logo, pretty please!

1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
The exact text that you want in your logo. Include other details like
positioning, if you need it done in a certain way.
C Redding Photography

2) What is your website address (ex: http://site.com ; Site Name)?
If the logo is to be displayed on your website, style, colouring and background
blend needs to be taken into consideration.
www.credphoto.zenfolio.com
My website coloring can be changed at anytime.

3) Description of your website or business:
Another aid for our graphics people in deciding on an appropriate style design.
I take the photos and upload them for preview and sale to clients from the website.

4) Have you found any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
the style you are looking for?
Either post small images of the logo designs (please keep any posted graphics under 600 x 600 pixels) or the URL of where the image/s can be found.
By supplying this info you are helping our graphics people get an idea of the preferred 'style'
you are looking for. No

5) Requested size of your logo:
Basically we ask this to determine the graphic's resolution and what it will be eventually used for.
Is the logo to be used solely for the web? (low resolution)
Will it be made into a poster or printed on shirts? (high resolution)
Do you need the final image in various sizes? (various resolutions)
I would like to be able to use it on shirts, etc., as a watermark, and as a logo in lightroom for the corners of my printed photos.

6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
Finding an appropriate, non-copyrighted graphic is the hardest and most time-consuming part
of putting together logos. If you have a hand drawn sketch of what you want, please feel
free to scan it and post the image.
(please keep any posted graphics under 600 x 600 pixels.) Do you mean as part of the logo? I like the idea of using something with the eye, as maybe a play on the initial in my name "C" aka "see". Hopefully that makes sense. But no images available.

7) What logo styles do you like (text only, image only, text and image, etc.)?
This will help the designers know what type of logo styles you are into and will create your
logo accordingly.
Text Only - Includes a text only logo which is a logo with just text and some extra effects.
Image only – Includes and image logo with no text (or little text such as initials)
Text and Image – Includes text and images used in your logo. This could be used to either
give a clearer view of what your logo is showing to your audience.

I like the idea of text only with extra effects, but am open if you guys want to try something cool.

8) What colors do you want to see in your logo?
State any main colours that you would like in your logo.
Red, black , white and gray. Red could be prominent to reinforce the name "Redding" But I'll probably need to be able to change the color to all black or all white, for different types of photos.

9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
State any colours that you do not want in your logo. Depends on the design I think, but no green, yellow, or purple.

10) Describe the target audience for your logo
This will help the designers to create a logo based at your target audience (e.g Kids – Colourful, eye-catching, possibly characters) My audience would be Family members, Mom's, High School seniors, other photographers and artists, but mostly potential clients.

11) What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
This will help the designer know how to design your logo and to what effect.
(e.g could be targeted to attract new businesses, gamers, newly weds, children,
builders etc etc), professional skill, beauty and fun.

12) Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
This will help the designers know which format to create the logo in. You will not
have to decide yourself as all designers will know. Please note down everything that
your logo will be placed on which includes any future plans.
Failure to do so will result in a bad quality logo.
Print, web, photographs, specialty items, clothing, etc.



13) Do you have other info or links you want to share?
Please feel free to comment on anything else that you would like your logo to have if it has not been mentioned above. I like Art Deco, not necessarily the architechture, but the artwork. The balance appeals to me.

Hopefully I haven't been too vague, that is not my intention. I just don't have any logos that I have seen that seem to fit me.

Thanks for the time and effort involved in this process. How can I help on this site? I'd be happy to do so.

Thanks for the "talented" comment. I bet you say that to all the photographers.

I will post a few pics. They need to be no larger than 600x600 to post, or zipped full resolution, right?

Would you mind telling me what the trackback is? I tried to search the website, but I couldn't find anything, and I don't quite understand what that's is.

Thanks.

Ok, so if I went to a website and reviewed it, then wrote something about it on another post then I would type in the "trackback" the url to the first website for reference? Right?

 

Anybody even thinking about it?

 

No, thank you, Juliano, that's nice, but not quite "wow" enough and I was looking for red, black, gray and white. I'll change the colors of my website to match, and I'll try to find some logos for samples. Thanks for the effort!!!

 

I know I am sorry, been kinda busy with Christmas stuff and haven't had much time to search around. I will, I promise. Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow.

I have to say, I really like this logo. But isn't it crazy to take the first cool one I see? LOL Also, what would it look like black/white, as a watermark?
