Lucy Limanni Photography Logo

I'm digging Option 3...white on black. Not sure why you have the ink splog effect on the other ones... The logo looks a little bit like a wedding service or something to that effect...
I like the fact that you put down your development of the concept... Very helpful. Cheers!

Dude, you are the fucking MAN.

Like the signature look, i would love to see it with a sepia feel, to enhace the photo aspect.

Have you thought about a hand holding a paint brush painting a camera?

looking great, love seeing the thought process ,

Great work.

love the image of the camera with the light bulb over it!

the concept of a light bulb as "idea" or creativity is SOOO played out, but the way you use it gives it new life.

some good stuff here ; )

Hi Leaky,

I don't know if you are open to rough suggestions =P

I'm liking the stack of polaroids....work with it.

Well this is refreshing! Love the cursive. Love the camera. Love the stacked Polaroids. Cursive is the winner though.

The last ones on your post(the signature) is unreadable.

I like the signature too, it's classy and low key. Very subtle. I have to play around with the font, I need something that doesn't look so "pasted on" Also, at smaller sizes, you lose it.

I like the polaroids too. The camera with the light bulb might be pushing it a little too much, like too much symbolism in one logo. I'll see if anything can be thought up.

I really want to push the idea of light. i don't know, it just seems there's an idea there somewhere.

Serverjohn, are all three signatures unreadable?

I like the 2 L's placed together just without the tetris thingy, spacing them out may get a camera shutter Idea out of it, or maybe the lucy on the tripod the L could be squared for a camera effect? possibly with the light bulb on top I'd love to see where those go, I also love the random sketches everywhere, your a very good pencil sketcher

Looking for some inspiration on logopnd, I thankfully don't have to compete with many light bulb ideas or polaroid ideas.

Great work with the sketches, I love to see the thought processes that go into making a logo. I always present my first ideas to a client as scamps, I find it much more productive as they are looking at the ideas, and not dismissing a logo purely because they don't like my colour choices or font styles. I think it also makes the client feel involved in the process, so much so that they often get out a pencil themselves and we have a brainstorm.

So many ideas here, I like the hands holding 'lucy', also the stacked polariods, but I'm not sure about the monkey!

If Lucy's photography is quite edgy the james bond one might work, but I'm not sure.

The signature logo at the bottom doesn't read as Lucy Limanni, more like Sucy Simonn, but I think this is the route you should take, understated, classy, just make those L's more readable.

Remind me never to come to your house for dinner! Spaghetti, cheese and cat food, yum yum.

Qwerty's idea rocks. Of course you'd have to reverse the hand positions so you'd get an upside right L and then the upside down one. The bonus effect would be she'd get every lesbian client in town.

PS: Don't recognize that medium you're working in, Leaky - is that the new Snow Leopard OS?

What about 'photo corners' along with 'signature'. Ok I will show u what I mean to say.

mmm just a draft

Hi there. I like the two L concept and coming from a photography background myself, I understand these sort of logos. I would be careful of a couple of things though...

Firstly, if the L's get too close, they may start to resemble Venture Portraits generic square logo and you want to avoid that as they are associated with high costs, nothing any photographer wants.

I've not had a chance to look into who she is and her style of photography but signature based photography logos do have a tendency of looking like wedding or traditional portraiture photographers logos... Raymond Thatcher and Hills and Saunders being two prime examples if you can find them. They are both Buckinghamshire or Berkshire based in the UK.

When I designed my logo for my wedding business, I wanted to keep it clean, modern and contemporary to resemble the photography I shoot (Website down at the moment but I will try and get it on here when I am home or you can email me and I'll send it).

I would avoid the camera, light, lens thing as again, I have looked at so many photographers in my time and the one thing I have noticed is these sort of things can be related to more traditionalist styles of photography. If this is what she does though, then role with it.

You should have a look at "The Image is Found" if you want contemporary photography inspiration, their logo is quite interesting. They are an American based photography company.
