I'm looking for a clean & elegant Logo for my photography business. I love scrolling designs but only as a small element or piece of the overall design. I'm not sure if I want a specific emphasis on the 'L' or the 'M' but I'm open to any ideas. I have a very sweet, a bit southern, clean style. I know I don't like anything too busy. I love chandeliers (the arm or a crystal). I want to be able to use this logo for business cards, letter head & watermarks (or just pieces of the Logo for certain things. I would love it if I can change the color. I may change the Splash Page color or maybe just using a very light blue in the Logo as a color to give my website some freshness.

Here is my first concept..
I went a little more green play off of the tiffany blue color.
I believe the tiffany blue is trademarked? not sure though.

Hi Coy, Thanks for the 1st concept. It's nice but not exactly the direction I was looking for. I like the simplicity and the green color(as an option), what I don't like is the font on the text is too thick and blocky. Can't wait to see what else.

If you like the image I can change the font for the wording.

[LisaMikie]

Thank you but this design isn't what I'm look for.

[Coy]

thanks, will work on a new concept.

Ok my first entry, went with a very soft tone, hope you like.

Cheers.

[LisaMikie]

Thank you. I do like the design and the color. Can you change the script design and let some of the script come outside the box? It's not exactly what I was looking for but it's definitely on the path.

[SliverFX]

Fine, I will try some changes. You want me to change the calligraphic font, right? any suggestions on the kind of font you might prefer? If you don't have any I will send some tries. Thanks for feedback.

Yes, I was referring to the calligraphic font. I know I like the Baroque script I used on my website but I would also like to see something new. Thank you for your design!

[SliverFX]

Let's see if we get closer with this one. The font is more similar to the one on your website, but I actually have many to try, so tell me.
I wanted also to try a new color scheme, more mature.

Thank you again. I don't like this one. It looks a little messy to me, I'm looking for a little more elegant and clean.

If you go to my blog from my website: Lisa Madden Photography - Madison Wedding Photographer, I've put up a sample from a business card that I like. Thanks again for the submission, I can't wait to see the next one(s).

I'm unsure of what you're looking for. Are you wanting your initials in a type script or are you wanting a pictoral/iconic logo?

Hi Paulo, Thanks for the design. I like the style or the set-up but not the actual design. Not crazy about the 'L' (calligraphic font) but I like the basic lay-out of the design. Did you see my example of the business card that I linked in my last thread? I love that type of scrolling design, I like that you can use pieces of it for different things (ie, business cards, letter head, watermarks and the Logo) (that is actually what I want my business card to look like, exactly) I do like the font I'm currently using for my initials on the website but I would like to see more in that family (Baroque Font). Regarding the referenced example of the business card, I like that the scrolling is thick in some areas and thinner in others(not too busy). In reference to the watermark Logo that Ethan Allen uses, I love the simplicity of just having back to back calligraphic 'E'. In case, I'm not being
descriptive about the scrolling, it looks similar to a 'fleur de les'. Hope this helps and thank you again. LM

This is my work. I hope this is what you're looking for.

[SliverFX]

My revisions. Went more similar to the picture you linked, let me know what you think also about having an icon instead of initials.

I really like this! I the initials are. Did you see the business card example that I have referenced on my blog? If so, could you incorporate something like that with a pice of some type of scrolling (ie; Damask, Fluer De Lis..etc..) Just a piece of it (just like the card)? Just wondering? LM
