    The idea was abstract - looking at small details like cracks in the sidewalk to being spontaneous. The eye or body and the pupil or lens go together. No matter. Others will post something.
    Open your mind for a moment - graphics can be made to any size and this is just a representation, similar to your examples.
    Think Less is More. Think of any icon you have seen they are very small, in your mind it looks like something familiar, enlarge it and you can not figure out what it is, so when your graphic is reduced it will still be recognizable.
    Now we have a style change - what you would want is a simple outline for the body or even a partial outline. A lens is just a piece of glass with a reflection (small graphic below) - you have to wrap something more around it to look like a camera or make it like the icon, abstract to give the illusion of a camera.
    Graphic below simple lens/ simple camera and detailed lens, of course the simplicity of of yours would be even greater.

    This website is a good example of using a Logo on the site and then on the photos as a copyright so no one can use the photos.

    Hello everyone. I am so looking forward to seeing what ideas everyone has. I also cannot remember where I saw it, but I believe that someone sent a link for photographers to post some photos for others to use. I just need that so I can be of some help. Does it say there what types of photos people want? Please let me know so that I can help out. Thanks,

    Soy Moses

    I guess I am not going to get anywhere here. I have contributed with the intention of continuing to contribute. I have seen on here where you all chastise others for not contributing or replying. I have not heard anything since the 14th. I must have done something incorrect. I have done 3 reviews and have only seen 1 response with any sort of logo ideas. I just get tired of checking my thread for no reason. I am sure this will put me in the do not respond pile, but I am frustrated. I helped out and thought that I would receive help also. Not sure what to do next. :-(

    Hey sorry about that. We are busy with other stuff too outside the forum. Also your request went on to the next page so most of us don't check their and i've just forgotten about this post too because most members usually reply by the time it gets their and we simpy don't have the time to check around the site for unfinished requests.

    You could've just simply 'bumped' your post back up and we would have remembered. You have to understand that their isn't many of us that can help with the amount of requests that come in day by day so we can't keep checking which members have helped and which to help or not. Also it is up to the designers if they want to help and no one can force them.

    With all the suggestions I simply don't get your post. I'll go through it all and see what you want then i'll see what I can do but please be patient as some or most of us are very busy.

    Thank you
    GG

    Hello Forest
    I have to get with my other half on this. I kinda like the concept here. The one thIng that at first glance that I am unsure about is the lens in Focus. I wonder if another lens graphs can be used? I also wonder if you could show me what this would look like as a photo stamp and also a watermark. I think it is classy because of the abstract lines. Also what would this look like as a logo on a business card? I think we might have a general concept here though. I just need to talk with my better half to see what she thinks. Thank you for the response.

    Thank you,
    Soymoses

    Hi again

    I will work on the lens asap, but I'm away for a couple of days> I will ask others if I sent them the psd maybe they could follow this up on my behalf? (Ish or GG are you willing?) other wise some time over the weekend I should have an alternative

    Just a question, as I have tried various ways to no avail to achieve what you just did 1970Forest. The others are better at this kind of graphics than me.
    Now the question from the statement above -
    "The one thIng that at first glance that I am unsure about is the lens in Focus. I wonder if another lens graphs can be used?"
    I have owned several cameras in my day how do you not represent a lens in focus? I'm confused. The one 1970Forest posted looks like a representation of a lens, but I can't tell if it's in focus or not.
    Even my post is confusing me...

    Hello forest. Later is ok in this case. My other half is away until Friday and I don't think she will see till then anyway. Thanks for the help. I am not overly crazy about the new focus abstract. I think I like the rest but would like to see some other ideas n the lens. Not sure how we can get the lens to relate more to focus. Maybe an eye in the lens???
    Thanks for the help.

    Sorry - classes started on Monday, and everything's just in chaos right now, so that's why I've been away. Here's a try - you said black, white, and olive green-ish right?

    Anyway, just let me know if I'm on the right track!

    Hello all,
    First of all to Ishkey. I just reread my post. It sounds goofy to me now too haha. What I meant was....... I just wasn't sure about the lens graphic in the word focus. I guess your peeps know you as the comic person. I will watch myself in future posts as to not given you the room to word twist. Nice catch though. I already responded to forest and so we will see where this goes. Cynthia. I like this as well. I thinknthat you both came up with great concepts. I like the colors in cynthias and the logo looks classy as well. Cynthia can I see what this would look like on a photo stamp? When my wife gets back on Friday I will be able to show her these drafts and see what she thinks. Forest..... On yours, is there a way ton incorporate some color? Thanks again and looking forward to seeing where we go from here.

    Regards,
    Soymoses

    Thought I would give this a go too :)

    End graphic is meant to be 'camera' along with 'underlining' the title and the flare in the middle is meant to be the 'lens'

    Let me know what you think.

    I was just playing around and whilst I do that I get these ideas in my head so I tried it out and it turned out quite nice in my head so went ahead with it :D

    I first had the bottom line coming to the 'F' so only that bit would look like a camera but then this came in head and thought I would make it a camera and a line which fades at the end :confused::p

    Whilst creating my graphics I always get ideas half way through but I just choose not to use them all :p

    and same here Cynthia I can see the red x again. Not sure why it's happening. How do you save your graphics?
