I like the Gary Lee going into an abstract design. Perhaps we could have it meld into something else other than a camera? Perhaps a magnolia flower? (south carolina state flower) or maybe something else abstract?? Surprise me! lol
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!!!
Glad you still have me near the top. I think my icon is so recognizable and clean that it will be easy to brand yourself with it and use it in the manner which you intend. Still fingers are crossed that you'll see the others are to complex for your usage as a watermark icon.
