Personal Logo Question...need opinions please????

Cipolla2Be

Hi ladies,

So I am trying to come up with a logo/watermark for photos and wanted to run this past you.  A very nice girl who doesn't even know me is helping me with this and she came up with an awesome design.  I just can't decide on the color (purple, grey, black) and if I should make some "changes" to it.  What do you think???

I was thinking about taking out the "spikey" (sp?) parts at the top, bottom, and sides.  Then it would just be curved at the top and bottom.  What do you think?  What color do you think?

Thanks ladies!

I think it's pretty, and would be pretty in silver.  But is it you?  This is a really classy, fancy logo, and I imagine something more modern/fun for you.

I agree with Karen on the gray/silver color, and I would also definitely take away some of the spikey things. The "K" is quite fancy, and for someone young and edgey like you, maybe changing the font a little is more your style?

I love that it is shaped like a vintage mirror!  Definitely remove the spikes around the logo.  And if this is going to go on the bottom corner of all of your photos, maybe make it smaller and less elongated?  Have you thought of taking a stab at doing one yourself?  You are so creative and if you pull a little inspriation from other photogs watermarks, I know you can come up with something fabulous... think about it.

I agree with everyone...I see something a little less "swirly" and a little more modern for you. I just dropped this into photoshop and ROUGHLY removed a lot of the frills...and gave the text a slightly different treatment. I'm no whiz with this stuff, but just an idea.

I really like what juangela did with it, I think it looks good smoother! My first thought was to make it more circular and less oval too.

I think the purple is so you. But if you're looking for a watermark for your photos, I think, as PP mentioned, white might be best.

I love the look of Juangela's, as well, and I really like the idea of a silver/grey color.  On the other hand, how well would silver/grey work if you did black and white prints?  Just something to think about.

Thanks ladies!  Appreciate all the feedback!  All taken into consideration.  And for the record it's not that long and skinny....I just cut and pasted it in then tried to make it fit....    And yes it is based off of a vintage mirror, good job nicole!

Pasted...is that even a word?....   I cut and paste!

I like the general idea of it, just not completely sure about the execution.  I like Juangela's take on it, except maybe putting the K in the center as the largest letter.  I think if you're going to use this as your logo you might want to consider having your full business name in a smaller font beneath the large K.  Just an idea- if people see just your logo (without being on a photo) then they're not going to know what your business is.  If this is just a watermark then it's prob okay but I might put your whole business name on it for other media (website, etc).  Also, I'd have her make it in a couple colors for you- purple for any photo and white or light grey for really dark photos, cause that purple isn't going to show up on top of really dark or b & w pics.

I found this website the other day and totally think you could do something yourself with these: http://www.houseof3.com/digital-warehouse/frames/house-of-3-frames-kit.html

You'd have to buy the photographer's license, but that's still super cheap for a limited commercial use license.  You can use them as brushes in photoshop and then add text to make a logo.  And I like their frames better than hers, but that's just me

Thanks Jlk!  Appreciate it!
