love is photography by kymLogo Design Contest

Hi, please find my first entry attached. Have styled the L to contain a loose heart shape and coupled the text with an icon which uses a camera shutter with a heart in it. Please let me know if you'd like to see any changes. Thanks. BMF

I REALLY like the L forming a heart. That is really cool! I also like how you have "Love is" is larger. Is there any way I could see "Love is" in a different font (but keep the L heart look)? Maybe a more fancy script (but still legible). Also, kim is actually spelt kYm :)

Oh, I am not crazy about the icon. I am leaning more towards the adstract icons..if any. I would love to see you play more with the L heart. That is a concept I like a lot!

Hi, thanks for the feedback. An alternative version is attached. This takes the concept of the heart L and uses it in a more script style font. I've customised the L to create a heart shape that encompasses the whole word Love and also included a little heart in the top of the L.

Let me know if you'd like to see any changes,

Thanks

BMF

Your new design is very sweet, but I think I prefer the simplisity of your first loos heart on the L and the composition of the photography by Kym underneath. I would love to see an even more scripted font for the love is with the loose heart looping of the L like your first design #52. Very close to what you already had done but without icon :)

Hi, sorry for leaving it so last minute - had a hectic day and haven't had a chance until now to get some alternatives for you. See attached new versions which use the same concept as original but with a more script styled font. Let me know if you'd like to see any changes. Thanks. BMF

That's okay, thank you for getting back to me still :)

Could I please see #52 without the icon and with green font instead of blue?

New version as requested with no icon and a green font under the pink. Cheers.

That is really cute!! My time is almost up. Once it is, I am going to print my favorites and see how they look in print to deside my top 5 designs. #197 is for sure in the running :) Thank you!!

I printed all the designs & have fallen in love with your #197! My only concern is that photography doesn't stand out enough. Is there anyway you can do to make that stand out more? I love all the fonts & design. Also, could you please fix the spelling of my name? It's kYm :) Thanks!

Hi Kym, wow thanks for the nice comments - I'm really glad you like it as I love it myself. I'll get some changes made and uploaded for you soon. Oh, and sorry again about your name, I'll get it right on the next set. Cheers. BMF

No need to appoligize about my name. It is spelt differently, so it's very common for people to spell it wrong. I usually don't even bother correcting people, but since it is my logo :)

Hi Kym, new versions uploaded. I've used a darker green as one option and the other option would be to make the text in the word photography a bit bigger. Also, to help with printing it out at your end, I have uploaded larger versions of the design - due to the low res and small size of the uploads on this site, sometimes the resolution can make designs a little harder to read - see if any of these are working better for you and if you need anything else, please let me know.

THanks

BMF

Thank you! Can I see the photography in #277 black?

Sure, here you go. Wasn't sure if you meant just the photography text or the whole logo, so have done both. Gonna call it a night now (it's 2.40am here in the UK), so if you'd like to see any other changes, let me know and I'll upload tomorrow.

Thanks

BMF

Actually, sorry just read you comment properly and see you said just the photography line, sorry, eyes playing tricks on me.

Ok last changes. I don't need to see them until your morning :) Could I please see #278 with a pink like R:253, G:136 and B:147? Then could I also see it with photography black and by kym green (the green in #275)? Finally could I see it with by kym beneth photography so photography could be bolder? Thank you!

No probs, was working late again, so have made the changes as requested, new versions uploaded. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

SOOOO CUTE!! Love the way you angled my name! I have one last question. Did you make the "love is" font yourself, or is that a font I can buy to use on my website to make cohesive? I won't ask you for the name of font unless I pick yours. I just want to know if it is an option to use throughout my website font so my website will be able to coordinate your design.

Thank you for making those adjustments! I am going to print it out tomorrow and move everything around accordingly afterwards. Thank you again for all your hard work and talent!

Hi Kym, it's a font you'll be able to buy to use for consistency. I customised it for the logo and created the heart shape on it. Glad you like how's it's coming together. I felt the name at the angle worked really well, and I also think the L will make a cool copyright watermark icon too. Calling it a night now so if you'd like anything else just let me know and I can make changes tomorrow. Cheers. Bmf

Hello BMF! I have had my top four logos on FB for my friends to give me input and pick their favorite. I find myself fighting for yours, but do see a little of what their concern is. I have heard from a couple that it almost looks like clove. That is the only thing keeping me from picking your design. Is there any way I could see the heart loop L a little higher on the L? I am sorry for asking you again to change something.

Hi Kym, no problem. Leave it with me and I'll upload some alternatives later today.

Thank you!

Some new versions using different techniques to place emphasis on the word love and remove the clove.

I've made the swoosh thinner on the outer side, used lighter colours and used darker colours.

Let me know if you'd like to see anything else.

Thanks

BMF

Very cool! I am printing them all now and hoping to have a decision tomorrow. I like the faded heart swoosh. Very smart way of taking emphasis off the look of clove.
