It's a beautiful image. However IMHO as a graphic designer, I'll give you some feedback.
Rather hard to read both from a font standpoint and from a scale standpoint. Can this work small, as a lapel pin for instance? Could you explain how the background image relates to the name? If I were to read your design brief perhaps I would be better able to tell you if it accomplishes your needs. | | | |

The font is too hard to read ... you want clients and potential clients to remember your business name, not struggle to read it. | | | |

a smidge of graphics design background here:
the test is too smushed (that's a technical term). Make it taller.
lose the fanciness on the font, the 3 is unreadable.
change the text layout so that the number 3 isn't at the extreme end. it unbalances the image. 2 lines, 3 lines, whatever.
is there a relationship between the background and the text? I don't see it.
overall, it's a bit fluffy for my tastes. I tend towards a simple Times New Roman or Helvetica/Futura for simple readability. This font might do better for a signature, but not a logo.

I don't even know what it says before "photography".
And flourishes are sooooooo overdone! | | | |

I wish photographers would view logo/identity creation the same way they view wedding photography. | | | |

Doesn't work at all. I can't read it (obviously). It's too busy and I don't think it will reproduce well in all medias...just like 'texkam' mentioned.
Think in black in white (no gray tones) when you go to design something. | | | |

I appreciate the feedback. I am not designing this myself. I do not have the eye, hand or tools to do graphic design, but I wanted to get feedback from more than me to give back to the designer.
It sounds like the font is definately a no-go (I agree, it was in my notes as well). I know that this is not scalable to extremely small sizes, like a lapel pin. Frankly, I really don't need it to be. I'm trying to go for something elegant - perhaps a focus should be placed on more simplicity?

If this came from a designer, you may need to find a new one. He/she should know better. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
