hey, thanks for the entries. As far as the designs go, the one I declined was ok, but I wasn't loving the spiral thing. I will say, however, that you were the ONLY designer to give me a pictomark type thing as a part of my logo and I do like that. A mark or symbol that says Gary Lee Photography without having to have it all spelled out. Just not the spiral thing, though. lol
As far as the logo that I've placed in first place.....I do like what you did with the GL in the circle, but can we make the font on the lower Gary Lee Photography a little more feminine? Thanks!!
Ok, so this is a mass comment, of sorts, to all the designers......I appreciate all the effort you're putting in on my logo, so thank you soooo much!!! It seems that everyone is doing the "GL" thing which is cool, but I really want a pictoral mark too, possibly. Something abstract?? Perhaps an abstract shutter, or even something that is very South Carolina in an abstract form too! Some of you have already started to make some abstract designs and I thank you! Keep in mind also, that other colors are certainly appreciated too. Remember....kinda feminine, not sooooo masculine. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more designs!!! Gary Lee

Hi again Gary and thank you so much for the comments and the ranking.. :)
I have now worked further with the abstract shutter, added some color and changed the font to a slightly more feminine look.. If you look closely the icon also represent the eye who have lots of significant value for your type of proffesion.. Hope you like my concept and your comments are more then welcome :)
Thank you so much for the new design. I did notice the abstract eye and really like the color too. My only thought of apprehension is that I'm worried it might not translate well into a watermark. Any thoughts? Thanks!! Gary
This is a bit of a “mass comment” to all the designers who have submitted to my contest. First off, thank you so much for your submissions! I really appreciate the time you’ve put into your designs. As you may have noticed, I’ve extended my contest by 7 days. You may have also noticed that I’ve “cleaned house”. Please don’t take it personally if your design has been placed in the “thanks, but we prefer other designs” category. I’ve decided only to rate those designs that could be considered a strong possibility.
Please take a moment to re-read my brief. I want something that appeals to high-end FEMALE prospects. Many of the designs I’ve refused are way too masculine. This doesn’t mean that I want flower petals and butterflies (waaaaay too feminine) but it does need to appeal to a female audience.
Additionally, I want a pictoral mark. Something that can be used alone as a watermark on photographs. Perhaps it will be a PART of the logo, but something pictoral. Most of the designs (90%) are just a GL design and/or a circle with a GL. This has become rather overdone. Let’s think outside the box!!! Something abstract (yes, I know some of you have already done that and thank you) And please, NO camera or aperture inspired designs. Way to cliche.
I look forward to seeing some fresh new ideas! Thanks again!!!
Thank you so much for all the comments.. It really helps a designer a lot!!
I have come up with another idea for your logo.. Using a polaroid with a feminine twist to it.. I made it in b&w first to see how it will work positve and negative, and if you like the design we can modify it in any way you like.. Including colors of course.. :)
