Logo
The logo below is currently the logo that I am using on my photography Facebook page.
The logo was designed by a college mate from my art class. He now studies Graphics Design at the City of Bristol College, College Green, which is where my course is also based. We recently had a joint workshop with the Graphics class. The Project involved us getting into pairs and then groups of four and then going out and photographing one anothers partners, which the graphics students will then make an article about us.
A couple of weeks later after going out and doing the shoot he showed me his article and what stood out was that he joined the two U's in my name together which looked really creative. At the time I was looking for a logo for my Facebook page that I was about to produce so I asked him if I could use his lettering design as my logo and he happily agreed.
I have had this logo for quite a while now so its time for a little upgrade. I have come across a website called Fiverr, which is a website where people can make logos, business cards etc just for $5. I gave it a go and now I have 3 logos to choose from.
Out of these three logos I have chosen the first one as it stood out for me. It's different to the other two as the other two look quite the same in style. In both of them I think the writing of Laura Usher does not go with the style of writing for photography. The first one gives a more professional vibe than the other two. It looks like a professional company logo that I think will look good placed on a business card. It will also not get in the way of a picture when used as a watermark.
Above is the information supplied by the designer relating to the print options for the logo.
The information includes:
- Logotype variations, CMYK, Black/White and Negative
- The correct way to print out the logo and how to use it on a website
'For prints: Use PDF or EPS files. These are what is called 'vector files' and can be scaled up or down without losing quality.'
'For web: Use PNG, JPG or SVG files. The first two are 'raster files' and can be pixelated when scaled up or down. SVG is a vector-format, and can be scaled just like PDF or EPS.'
- How to watermark the logo onto my photos.
In the above picture I have shown how the watermark works. It does not distract the viewer from the image and it is also not so big that it takes over the image.
The only problem I have with the logo is that the L U in the middle of the logo is black and you will not be able to see it in some images with a black background, as shown in the above image. I will have to go into photoshop myself and change the L U to white for darker backgrounds.
