Logo design

I also mocked up some business cards and I think they look really nice and clean and professional. I love the colours. I think it is important to be double sided as it a) give you opportunity to see the logo on its own, and B) everyone turns business cards over to see whats on the other side anyway. I believe i have all the relevant information for getting in contact with the studio and seeing their work.

I am quite happy with how the whole project turned out. I enjoyed hearing other peoples opinions and ideas and although this design isn't what I would have chosen for my own company, I do still like it. I am very happy that I managed to please my client in the end even though I was a bit doubtful in the middle. I particularly like my business card design I think that is my favourite thing I have designed for this project.

Logo design

Although my client liked this, i believe they were still hoping for something different. My client explained that they don't really like the perfectly aligned square designs and were hoping for something where the 7 is more prominent perhaps in a circle. Now from my graphic design background this was not something I wanted to do and its not something I like but it is not my logo. I did express my concerns that it wouldn't fit as neatly into corners etc but i wasn't going to stop them using something like that. 

So i set about coming up with a few ideas that were more what they were hoping for.

I started off doing 2 variations of a design that the client had suggested. I did not like them from a graphic design point of view. 

So i designed my own version along those lines which i think works much better and is much more clean and readable. I sent all 3 to the client and to my relief they really liked the last design. They asked some questions about how easy it would be to change some colours and backgrounds for different seasons and i explained it is fairly simple as you can just change the hue but if you wanted 2 very different colours like red and green I would have to redo it. They said it was good that it is easy to change. 

I was still a bit concerned of how this would look on photographs. The client said try black and white. I did this but it came out a dirty grey colour which i didn't think would show up on anything, so i made it white which again didn't show up very well. 

I suggested just using the bottom of the logo as it would look more professional and less like part of the image and you can read the company name better and it fits into the corner better and you can make it a lot smaller than the other one and still be able to read it.

The client didn't seem to like that. I then decided to cut the 7 out of the middle to make it more obvious and allow the photo to show through.  I think this still works they will just have to be careful of the positioning so you can still see the logo which i have explained. 

It even works on off white pictures. For pure white if it ever happened we agreed it would be a light grey. I think it does look quite nice in white being on the pictures.

Logo design

Today the client said they would like a bit more emphasis on the number so i started coming up with some different designs of the number 7, baring in mind I don't even have a colour scheme to work to at the moment.

I really liked the one that looked like flames so i quickly mocked up a logo as an example of how it would fit and it turned out like this:

The client actually quite liked this and wanted to see what else i could do with it like can in be translated for holidays. So i mocked up a couple of valentines ideas.

The client liked these too! I think we are finally getting somewhere! I don't think they are 100% on it yet but we are definitely a lot closer! 

Logo design

I have been asked to design a logo for a new compony called Studio 7 Photography. I will also be creating business cards and mock ups of where the logo will go. In return the client said i would get a free photoshoot.
So i set to work doodling and coming up with various ideas that did and didn't work.

Unfortunately the client has said that it needs to be the number 7 rather than the word because they have already bought the domain name with the number in it and they don't want people getting confused and not being able to find their website. It would have been nice to know that before I started but never mind. I much preferred the ones i doodled that had the word as i thought they worked much better and the word gave space to do much more with. so i had to have a rethink.

I came up with this which i think works quite well but when i showed it to the client they said it was much better but still not quite what they were looking for, unfortunately that is all i got, they have not been particularly forthcoming with constructive criticism saying what they do and don't like about it.
