Logo for Myself - wedding photography

chrisjlee

I’m pretty lost on where I’d like to go with my own logo. I’ve even hired someone to help me steve jenks(retrodc.com). The previous logo was a quick slapdash idea. Name of the company is holy molee photography.

The idea is a best friend of mine would do wedding photography together. Now he’s lost interest and I’ve kind taken over. Well the concept of the logo is merging names “Moler & Lee”.

Anyway, I am by far no expect at graphic design. I did this by hacking away didot in illustrator. I’ve tried to imitate this type: http://www.vman.com/1_davidsims_orlandobloom.php and customize it in my own way.

Communicately, I’d like to express some flair of high fashion influence.


What do you guys think?

If you expect the spectator (let alone the casual or hurried spectator) to recognize an ’h’ and an ’m’ you are asking too much.

For starters, the ’h’ is cropped by the left edge. Look at the ’h’ right at that point: The thin horizontal line grows into the vertical stem in a smooth curve, identical to the curves in the ’m’. But it should not be a curve, it should be a 90 degree corner, to facilitate the identification of the ’h’.

At least, *I* had this problem ... have you tested this design (ie showed it to friends and family) and asked them what they see?

Some may see ’hm’
Some may see ’lm’
Some may see ’hi’
Some may just see Mother Penguin and her two children.

Maybe you should try other fonts, other ideas as well. Stick to the ’feeling’ that the Orlando Bloom type design gave you, while you try other variations.

Hey - great photo of OB ... all of a sudden, he looks interesting ;-)

hmm alright. Interesting observation.

Do you feel its an improvement upon the previous logo?

OB: ha.

I am not too happy about ’the previous logo’ ...
