#1 Can you design something in reference to just photography instead of both music and photography? I like how you added the lens to the music note but the average person won't catch it.
I couldn't resist showing you this concept, something everyone recognizes ... 'watch the birdie' I found an antique birdie with this description Watch-the-birdies have long been used by photographers to relax and amuse children during a portrait session. This example made of sheet brass probably dates to the 1920s.
The birdie would typically be held by an assistant or parent. A rubber hose and squeeze bulb were connected to the short length of open brass tubing. The brass base separates into two halves so the bottom of the base can be filled with water. Squeezing the rubber bulb causes the bird to make a whistling and warbling sound. ...and that also allowed me to include the little music note. I think it would be a memorable logo for you...
#40 I do like the watch-the-birdie concept, but when I see the design it gives me the impression of being in the business of kids photography. Thanks for trying though. I really can't explain what I'm looking for in words. I will just know it when I see it. I really like how you designed the Pacific Genetics, Lanin Law, and Bright Steps Forward logos.
#41 I like this one the most out of all the other birdies you've done. Scratch the birdie concept and see if you can come up with anything to top the #1 ranking
