An updated version of #21. It look more slick with the rounded corners on the "L"

(This comment references Entry #22)

I love how #22 can look like a 3D "P" or an "L" and a "P"!
I also like the angle you put on it....I would like it to be more symmetrical somehow if possible.
#20 feels more like a computer's power button than a stitch-able logo to me. I do like how it feels more balanced than #22 though.

could I see what #22 looks like with the icon to the left of the text?

Thank you very much for your feedback!

#33 - It is #22 with the icon on left of the text.
#34 - The L is shorter.
#35 - A new layout, also tried with a rounded corner on the P.
#36 - The icon placed in a square.

Looking forward for your next feedback,

#42 is very nice! Would it throw off the design of it to make the implied diamond shape more square, but still angled like a diamond?

Thanks for the feedback!

Now the design #52 would fit into a perfect square.

can I see what #52 looks like with the "L" and "P" colors switched?

I'm also curious to see if you could imply the upper right edge a bit more somehow in #52.

Thanks the feedback.

#60 - The colors are switched.
#61 - New option for the right top corner on the "L".
#62 - New option for the top corner on the "P".
#63 - played around with the "P".
#64 - The icon placed into a blue square.

#71 is a GREAT icon. I love the colors you used and how you beveled the edge. It looks very slick. The only problem I see with this design is the P doesn't really read as a "P" If anything, the white space looks like an "E". If The initials of my business were "LE" then this would be very very close to being perfect. I also LOVE how you have rounded and angled corners integrated into this design. Big ups for that!

I think I like the font you've been using a bit better than the bauhaus you used in #71.

Thanks for the feedback!
Here's #87, i tried to make the "P" more obvious.

This version is a little bit thinner, adding more space around the "L" and "P".

(This comment references Entry #88)

#87 and #88 are great! I'd like this to look a bit more like a 3-D box where the "L" edges mirror the shape of the "P" a bit more... maybe by squaring off the top left corner of the "L" to match that of the "P"?

What I want is for it to be readable as either an L and a P or as a 3-D icon at the same time... like an optical illusion. I imagine it would only take a couple fine tweaks to do so.

I like #87 better because it looks more like a box, but I like #88 better because it looks more like an "L" and a "P".

Thanks for the feedback!

Here's few more options, #110, #111, #112 and #113.

I tried to give you that optical illusion to them.
Looking forward seeing your next feedback!

Could you give me one that has spacing between the L and the P somewhere between the amount of #110 and #111?
Also, can you give it more of a satin nickel-type finish rather than a plastic/glass kind of look?

Here's #116, #117 & #118. They have the spacing between #110 & #111 and different variation for a more satin-type nickel look.

very nice! Could you make it a bit brighter, lustrous? it seems just a bit dull to me.

#116 is better than #117. The thing that bothers me is seeing that sharp edge line of highlight as if the surface isn't able to diffuse it enough. #118 doesn't have it, but that version only seems to have one light source on the "P and one light source on the "L". Does that make sense?

Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah, it does make sense, Here's a couple of variations with the two light sources. #129 & #130.

For #132, it is the same as #130 but I did few touch-ups for the light on the "L".

I like the horizontal highlights of the letter "P" in #129 the best.
You can get rid of that bright highlight on the right side of the "L" completely. I think it's a bit too much. For the blue "L" part I'm fine with just having the one that starts at the bottom, it makes it feel more balanced that way.

Yes, I agree about having just one light on the "L".

#159 - With one light on the "L".
#160 - With one light but with shinier edges on the "L".

can you make the gradient on the P a straight horizontal one? It feels a bit crooked to me.
Is this a vector file?

Thanks for the feedback.
I did put the gradient on the "P" a little crooked on purpose but here's a straight horizontal one. #180.
Yes, it is a vector file.

I'm a first timer on this website.. do I get to see this logo on white, in 1-color, in black and white, and a version without beveled edges? Forgive my ignorance, I can't find anything about this on the forums.

Here's different variations of the logo.

#181 - Version on white background.
#182 - Solid colors on white background.
#183 - Solid colors on black background.
#184 - The colors of "L" & "P" matching the colors of "Leavitt Photo"

Let me know if you want to see other variations.

with the white background, could you make the "P" and "Leavitt" a shiny black color instead of gray?

#185 Here's the version with the black "P" and Leavitt on the white background.

could you do it like #119 but black instead of silver... that kind of shine?

Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand or if you got the wrong #.

I only see a blue gradient shine on #119, you wanted that same gradient in black?
Or you were referring on a other design?

oops, the kind in #113

Here's #186, with the new shine.
