I like 3 - it seems more balanced, but still visually striking and attractive...

Hey Sonny,

I'll throw in my two cents but I've found I don't usually follow the popular sentiment...

While I like the logo (alot!) I find the GTP to be fairly useless compared to the actual spelling of GameTime Photography. But this all depends on how you intend to use the GTP vs full. Have you given any thought to trying the full name in the logo instead of the initials?

The design is very modern and professional. My initial thought is that the GameTime Photography font should be different from the font you use for the contact info. Maybe something a bit more bold.

Anyway, grain of salt stuff. I admire all your work and you know your biz better than I. Certainly a very cool design you've come up with.

Joe

I think they look great except for the fourth one. I don't care for the starburst but that's just me and the other samples knock that one from the list. You have Game Time Photos spelled out on the front so GTP on the back doesn't bother me, in fact it makes for a classy design.

I was just getting ready to order more cards and my pitiful design makes me want to not order any after seeing these. Oh well they do what they are supposed to do.

I also like #3 best, and I don't really like #4 at all. (The starburst actually made my eyes hurt a bit.)

Great job!

I think I like No. 3 best, but all of them look nice. Your logo is really great.

#4. Eye stays on your message and logo. My 2nd choice would be #1 for the same reason.

#3 does it for me. However, I think I would like it more if your logo on the back was on the front. It is a very well done and unique logo. It seems to match the curve in the background well. I would think you would want to share it as well as show it off.

Just my .02

I am partial to number 3, but the button seem to be missing depth on he left and rigth. Looks flat compared to the remainder of the logo. Same way in all the logos.

Thank you y'all so much for taking time to look at my cards and responding!

I've been re-working some of the designs. Later tonight I'll post the changes.

I like #4. I like the interest it creates and balance of it. You don't have to guess what type of business it is. I believe in branding, I could see that particular style being carried through in advertising arterial.
One little tiny thing I would improve on... reduce the size of the website just a bit to the left. just to where its a little further away from the gradient curve.

I like #3 and then #5. Very classy looking while still being sporty ... kinda like the BMW of business cards. Only one thought - if you ever need to write anything on the card, you might was to make the BG on the back white and the figurines black. If not, they're great just like they are.

Poor focus behind the camera creates as many bad photos as poor focus through the camera!
