Gary Lee PhotographyLogo Design Contest

Thanks so much for your submissions. I really don't like any of these. I ranked the #116 logo at 11 primarily because you made it more of a 3d look and I'd like to see more logos with some 3 dimension to them.

I'm looking for something a bit more abstract. A pictoral mark perhaps. It seems that everyone is doing the initial thing, which I do understand, but I'm hoping for something a bit more.

I look forward to seeing more of your ideas!!

Thanks!!

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!!!

update!

(This comment references Entry #271)

Thanks for the update! I really like it as it's super cool but just doesn't feel very feminine. Feels very masculine with a slight nod to the feminine side. lol I really appreciate the fact that you tried something totally different from before. I look forward to seeing your other ideas too!!

Warm Regards,

Gary Lee
