I've gone for something retro/funk, symbolising a group coming together, funky eclectic retro colour scheme, with letterpress style text as requested. The symbol could stand alone as a watermark on your photographs too. Feedback welcome. I avoided putting a camera in as I think it might be a bit of a cliche.
This has a great feel to it. Great work here. We love your idea about using the symbol as a stand alone watermark! We like that you used the camera framing lines to box the logo in.
Thanks so much for your creativity and design effort. We love the general funky/retro feel here. One concern is if it would also look good on a black background as well as a white one.
Thanks for your feedback, it makes designing much more fun! - any winning designer on here will be happy to provide a version that works on both black and white backgrounds - I've done a version here for you on black. Keep the feedback coming, and let me know if you'd like to see any modifications. Cheers!, husk
