Legacy Photography logo customization wanting sleek, classy, and clean logo.

First,
I would like to say I really appreciate your time and efforts in advance for taking the time to work or even consider working on my photography request.I have filled out the questionaire to the best of my knowledge while trying to keep it short and sweet not to bore you, but provide enough information to be able to conjure something in your creative minds. Again, I appreciate you for working on my request in advance, and if you need more information feel free to ask.

1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
Brian Norman Photography
2) What is your website address (ex: http:/site .com/; Site Name)?
www.briannormanphotography.com
3) Description of your website or business:
I am a all around mid range budget photographer who targets families, engagements, senior photos, weddings, and maternity clients
4) Search the Internet for any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
the style you are looking for?
Here are so some of the logos which I liked........
1. http://www.photographylogos.net/2011/03/handwriting-photography-logos-mark.html
2.http://www.photographylogos.net/2012/06/lisa-lefkowitz-photography-logo.html
http://www.photographylogos.net/2012/06/animal-photographer-sharon-montrose.html
5) Requested size of your logo:
a) The logo will be used on the photographs for printing purposes located on the bottom right hand corner of all images.
6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
I don't want to use any images because I would like for my logo to impact various groups from high school seniors, maternity, family sessions, and weddings. I am afraid using a photo would deter a certain group based on the photo I choose.
7) What logo styles do you like (text only, image only, text and image, etc.)?
I would prefer to have text and image like swirls around the logo.
8) What colors do you want to see in your logo?
Deep colors. Earthtones. I really like dark brown and cream. Deep burgundy and slate grey.

9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
Pink or purple, teal too.

10) Describe the target audience for your logo
The main target audience is to acquire new business targeting new couples, seniors, and families seeking family portraits. I like Georgia, and any other script fonts

 

Fonts Update:
I also like Monotype Corsiva, Palatino Linotype, Lucida Calligraphy are some more fonts I like.

Other logos I like:

http://www.photographylogos.net/2012/03/gene-higa-wedding-photographer-logo.html
really like this too: http://www.photographylogos.net/2012/02/red-stones-photography-logo.html
maybe using BNP as the background
I think these can be placed on the bottom right hand corner of a photo and not throw off the image. Just trying to give as much info as I possibly can on what I like.

 

Hey ConvertPea,
Those are pretty sleek. I really like the first one the best. I like the the outline effect. When I saw it my first thought was " Man - I think I would like to use that as my header on my site". I am interested to see if anyone else has any ideas for me to sample as well. I will tell you what made me more attracted to the first logo with the outline effect. I will tell you if you promise not to think I am being extremly picky, or downgrading your creation.
************Okay, are you ready for me to tell you? Huh? huh? I can't hear you? *************
*********Promise you won't get mad? Pinky Promise, Cross my heart, Hope to die? ******************
************Well, let's leave the hope to die part off, too many of us need you around here ****************
Hopefully I made you laugh or smile. Okay here goes, I like the second one as well, but I would have liked to have seen maybe a "~" under my name, and maybe change the font on Brian Norman, or put the name in italics. The thing I don't like the most - it has nothing to do with you is my last name inital in the background. I have always felt I have a letter that can tend to appear as an M, or make you wonder is that a N or is that a "___" (you fill in the blank with any response you like). Is it just me, or do other people feel the same way about stuff like that? I did want to say I do appreciate your efforts on this and it is great to see your thoughts and ideas come to life. You have an amazing talent, and I hope you never forget it. I would still like to be able to use the both of them.

One last question? How hard would it be to have one in white as well? Just in case the photo background is black?
THANKS CONVERTPEA - THANKS CONVERTPEA - THANKS CONVERTPEA - THANKS CONVERTPEA
(I can't thank you enough)

Thanks,
B

 

@ConvertPea
Can you send me those files?

 

@ConvertPea,
I have them. The files can be removed. Once I get myself back going. .. this will not be forgotton.
@Everyone else who designs logos - please keep up the good work. I am not closing the door to other logos that you may design or be in the process of designing. I just want ConvertPea to be able take his design down, and also I want ConvertPea to know I will put anything provided to use. There's no rule saying I have to only have one logo. ConvertPea provided me two of them, and I will use them both. Why? It's Simple. . . .ConvertPea didn't have to take time out to design it . .. so using them both is the very least I can do to show my apprecation.
If you have something in mind, or an alternate design..... throw it at me .. . I will apprecaite it just as well. Good night all and talk at you all tomorrow.

One more time before I sign off - THANKS CONVERTPEA FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE!!!!!

B
