Oh well. I lunched a contest.. and now I can't pick one logo :P

so, I have rated those I like, several is given a 5star by me..

What is your favorite? The logo wil be used on greeting cards, watermarklogo on images, etc. So it's important that it's easy to read and easy to blend into a picture.

PS each logo has a # refer to it's number if you have the time

99designs Photographer need a logo

séamuis · 06-15-2009, 02:38 AM

honestly #1 or #3. its simplistic. easy on the eyes. its classic, not to trendy or fussy. it just works. if you take a name like foto fashion and combine it with an obviously trend oriented or overly modern design, it just doesn't look right. its trying to hard, if that makes sense. fashion gives the idea of modern and trendy, but it always does it with one eye on the past. it does it in a classic way. I think this logo is easy to remember and gives a nice image to the business. it may be to simple or not unique enough for some, but I think potential clients will be drawn to its classic look. of course without going into deep analyzing of the logo and what it could possibly represent, one could say it doesn't openly or easily represent a photographer and his business of photography. then again, one could argue that it doesn't absolutely have to represent such in a blatantly obvious way.

either one is great. I don't much care for the example with the red stripe, but none of the other entries really had any appeal. a lot of very cookie cutter designs. too much similarity.

I'm a fan of the minimalist logos also.
My picks are #226, #227, then maybe #211.
Good points mentioned above.
It's quite a personal choice but as mentioned should reflect the style and flair of fotofashion
All the best in choosing!

I like #198 Eric, it's stylish but subtle at the same time. It will work well on the back of greeting cards and as a watermark, it won't be too obtrusive.

Remember the golden rule of logo designs: it's gotta stay intact after being passed through a 48DPI thermal-printing BW fax machine...and without fancy, subtle colour gradients, it'll be cheaper to put on business cards.

**monochrome** · 06-15-2009, 08:34 PM

123 or 77

Simple, clean, catch the eye, faxable

208, except doesn't convert well to BW

Must be sorry you asked...
Just make the choice that's right to you.
You've got lots of great logos to pick from.

GerryL · 06-23-2009, 05:53 PM

Go with something that has a "logo" and a "logotype".
You can use the logo (for example: just the "FF") in solo to mark unobtrusively or use the logotype (fotofashion) as a "header" or "footer" or
you can use them together.
So, I would eliminate those that don't have a "logo" and a "logotype", so you can narrow down the choices.

GerryL · 06-23-2009, 06:46 PM

I can't pick anything as there must be a representation of both "foto" and "fashion" in the "logo".

I was thinking of the likes of this.
I made this quickly just to give you an idea.

As for the logotype, you can go with anything.
