    I need HELP, I am trying to create a logo for my start-up business, I shoot families, weddings, babies and high school.
    I have an idea but no clue as to put it into a format that I can use. Any help would be apreciated. Please feel free to add, change or scrap my design.

    Sorry about that, there is just so much information here, Im trying to take it all in.


    1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
    Dallas Williamson Photography

    2)
    What is your website address (ex: http://site.com ; Site Name)?
    I have not designed a website as of yet, this is how I arrived at this site. I am trying to get ideas and tips on designing a website. I do have a blog, dallaswilliamson.blogspot.com
    3) Description of your website:
    I hope to have a flash intro showing a slideshow of several of thie pictures I have taken, then liks to galleries of photos.

    4) Have you found any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
    the style you are looking for?

    I have posted a very very crude example but, I am open to other ideas.

    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?
    Will it be made into a poster or printed on shirts?
    Do you need the final image in various sizes?

    I will be mainly using it on the web and business cards but, I do like the idea of having shirts made.

    6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
    Any picture on my blog

    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.


    8)
    What colors do you want to see in your logo?
    Black
    9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
    State any colours that you do not want in your logo.

    10) Describe the target audience for your logo
    I target wedding photography but, do a little of it all.


    11) What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
    attract new clients

    12) Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
    Photoshop watermark?
    Website
    Letterhead
    Shirts

    Ohh one more thing, as fra as how it will be used on the web, I would like to, at some point have part or all of the logo "drawn" in during the into of my future website. I dont know if this effects the format or not.

    I really like the logo design you did, I was looking further into this site and saw this one. Could you change it a little more into this direction.

    Shooting wedding ect. Did I mention that I am a probation officer?lol

    I am liking where you are going but, my wife picked at me saying it was a little to girley. Attached is "her" input. Is this an option? Thanks for you patience.

    Thought i'd give it a go too :) Hope no one minds :eek:

    I know you wanted Black but to me this looked more eye-catching trying to avoid the 'girly' look. :p Not sure if it does but that's your wifes call.

    Anyway here it is...
