Photomeetup CopenhagenLogo Design Contest

Hi,

here comes some conceptual designs with a direction towards "roundness" and a commercial, fun and inviting logo that makes the viewer say: -"...hmm I recognize that photo icon..."

Colours, placement and gloss/gradient can be applied to your liking. I will present some here, but is always happy to accomodate any whish you might have.

Here in white on black/gradient back

Hope you like it!

90% black on white

Blue gradient

Gradient funny roundness... just showing a direction one might like? ;-)

(This comment references Entry #23)

Round version

(This comment references Entry #24)

LOVE #23! Could you do some variations on that?

Horizontal flat version

(This comment references Entry #26)

#23 I meant minor variations. Sorry. :) It's almost perfect. Just wanted to see if you could add or substract something, and make it even cooler. :)

#24: Could you do that without the StarBucks stars? I really like the concept of both #24 and #25. Could easily picture them on a t-shirt. Love the green color as well!!

Hi,

I will return tomorrow and post the updates you requested. Sorry for the delay.

Akerman

Exclamation mark style. Moved icon under and added some gloss on him.
Made the 100% black into 90% black for better smoothness

Added a jetbeam through the logo - "Mr. Photo gotta jet"

(This comment references Entry #50)

Green version

(This comment references Entry #51)

Variation on jetbeam and the original placing

(This comment references Entry #52)

Simplified version with 15% arched text

(This comment references Entry #54)

Some gloss and two lens elements added. Hmm looks strange and still too much Starbucks?

(This comment references Entry #55)

Just trying some different layouts. Here with lenses in the lettering

(This comment references Entry #56)

Pill style

(This comment references Entry #57)

Personally I think this version became the best balanced and clear one. The jet "swoosh" ads movement and accents the playfulness and intensity of the logo/event

Also adjusted the distance between the words and added a small dropshadow behind wording to make them pop-out more

(This comment references Entry #59)

On white back to show the high visibility

(This comment references Entry #60)

Hi, I've cleaned up the logo you placed as first:
1. word distance in logo evened out to balance better (vertical distance)
2. Jetswoosh is more rounded instead of a slightly quirky angle
3. added a faint shadow behind the words, not obscuring the jetswoosh
4. All is made in CMYK, so no worries for any printing process

Horizontal as per your request
Modern Photomagazine style with two lenses and "cut-out" compact font
Here with blue/white as main colours

Simple an recognizable without any specific icons, just the name as wordmark. You add/remove the townnames to your liking/or the occasion

Here presented with the "dull dark blue - #01669A", from your web site.

(This comment references Entry #82)

With a soft relief edge

(This comment references Entry #83)

PS The lens looks realistic and can withstand any "blow-up" from webpage size to billboard...or larger.. ;-)

With a soft inner relief on the "pill" shape

(This comment references Entry #84)

Hey Akerman,

Should have written that it's without "aarhus" and "odense". It's still just "Copenhagen". :)

I'm not loving the "box" around the text. A stroke is maybe better. And then add some "swushes" og some other grafical round stuff - yeah, I know I'm not the best explainer. :) :)

Flat, clean and modern, then?

(This comment references Entry #87)

More like your #52, but more stretched like #81. I guess thats what you call "flat" maybe? :)

One horizontal version ... comin up! ;-)

(This comment references Entry #91)

Variation on jetbeam

(This comment references Entry #92)

Yet another variation with the other font, icon and a slight "lime" feeling

(This comment references Entry #93)

Hey Akerman,

I must admit something. I've fallen in love with the little "photo-man" you use in almost every logo. I can easily picture him on my website and on a t-shirt. Can you do more logos with him?

I like #52 and the green color. Maybe some variations on that?

Mange tak. :)

If I choose your #52, can you make it on a white background as well? And maybe a version without the glow behind it also for t-shirts etc?

Can you do #23 in green also?

If you can do #52 with a white background, I'm pretty sure THATS EXCACTLY what I was looking for. :)

Hi, sorry for the delay. Here are the requested versions.

The "glow" was actually only a gradient to show the logotype high visibility on a dark background. It is not part of the logo. This is something we often do in order to give the client a chance to judge the visibility.

Here on white background

..and on a black background.

We always prepare the files for both print and web presentation, meaning that it works with the RGB and CMYK colour chart. We are also happy to help out if you need any assistance with the printshop. But being a photographer... I'm sure you have a good grip on the situation... ;-)

(This comment references Entry #107)

Here green on white and with no jetbeam. (Actually this is only a layer in Illustrator that we can switch on/off as we like)

(This comment references Entry #108)

Thanks! :) #106 is just what I want. :)

The little photo-man, is he big enough to print alone on a t-shirt for example? I mean, can I drag him out of the logo-file, and use him alone? :)

Working late, eh? ;-)

No worries I will see to it that you get the "Photoman" (Foton-mannen? ;-) as a seperate delivery at no extra charge. That way you will always be free to create any size of him for any purpose.

In the delivery (after you accepted the final design and payment is made) I always send som different sizes of JPG and PNG formats...and the original Illustrator file with named layers. Just to make things flexible for you.

Please email me at "robert.o.akerman@stolt-akerman.com" with the email address you want me to send any additional files. (The Logotournament only provides you with 1 EPS and 1 JPG) I'll give you more after you accept the "Final design"

Regards
Akerman

Perfect! I will accept at once. :)

And yes, almost - in Danish he would be called fotomanden. :)

You're from Sweden, right?

Ah, right "manden" ;-)

Please send me an email at the address "robert.o.akerman@stolt-akerman.com" so we can continue via e-mail.

Yupp, Swedish I am.. :-)

Did you recieve my email?
