I need a new logo that works well for the wedding photography industry. I'm including instructions about what I'm looking for, but please feel free to try anything, especially if your idea is very creative or different.


*** UPDATE: I've received a few designs that I like. Many of the other designs are just... boring or uninspired. While I still welcome traditional text + graphic logo designs, I also encourage you to try something new and creative. I look forward to seeing what all of you can do :) ***




1. The logo must contain, at a minimum, the phrase "Chris James" and preferably "Photography".


2. Black-on-white (and reverse) logos. Color, if used at all, should be limited to no more than one or two additional colors and should be used sparingly.


Please note that the logo will be used in print, on the website, as well as for watermarking images (in which case it may be shown at reduced opacity).


3. The shape must suit being used as a logo on various websites. It should be adaptable to a square format for social media avatars.


4. I prefer typography-oriented logos. Any graphical elements should be subtle. Try to avoid cameras, lenses, or apertures in your design.


Very subtle or abstract images of lighthouses or faces may be used, but are not required.


You may also incorporate square or medallion designs (possibly with the graphic or initials).


5. For fonts, I have a preference for clean, sans-serif fonts. Legibility at a variety of font sizes is very important, as this logo will often be used as a small watermark at reduced opacity on top of images. Please try to use something different and distinct.



Please note that all of the above are only suggestions. If you have a creative idea that you think would really work well, please submit it! I've very open to suggestions.
