Fredriksen PhotographyLogo Design Contest

We are trying to create an image of high end photography company that specializes in beach photography. Family photography but a large focus in wedding photography and events on or around the beach. We are around cape code so no palm trees. More sea grass and light houses if anything! Maybe a jetti walls or something like this. Thanks

I also really like the idea of waves.. here are some visual idea!

I really like the waves in this picture... maybe blue and green, multi layers, possible waves made out of above link? lots of design elements in those symbols and colors.

I really like Shepard Ferry designs:

http://obeygiant.com/headlines/west-hollywood-peace-elephant
something in that direction might make for a wild and fun design

I like the font from yockie, the waves and tones from artone. I would like to see more of these themes. Alot more waves with the font maybe inside the waves? and then photography below.

My wife likes the simplicity of Zelda's sea grass and Renu's F. I just think Renu's design needs to be more modern. Personally I think I have seen this with other photographers.

In my mind people need to connect the ocean with the logo... also no palm tree's. Its cold around here in the winter and Palms trees would die

I like the seagrass and I also like the symbol by jekson. Here is a link to our printing lab with some materials we plan on ordering. (luxe shaped business cards, stickers, mailers, letterhead) I like the intricate design with detail and a high end classic look. We take a lot of beach portraits in the sand dunes and deal with higher end wedding clients. Not all weddings or portraits are taken at the beach. A symbol that incorporates abstract ocean objects would be great with an elegant flair.

We like the tag line passionate about portraiture

The problem with this logo is it does not translate well into square format and can be too long and hard to read when we shrink in down to business card size.

The bold colors seem to catch my eye and keep my attention. Any changes to reflect a warmer, bold feel could make a big difference. Sunset colors look great. I want the name to be clear and I also like emphasis on the letter F.

I'm torn between the old world look and clean modern look.
