Default Photography Logo/Watermark ideas help

I'm new in the photography world and to this forum, but have an extensive background in web/graphic design. The problem is when it comes to my own stuff i'm too nit-picky to come up with any great ideas.

I've recently purchased 2 domain names of the same sort:

www.LoadedLens.com and www.LensLoaded.com

I'm looking for any ideas you guys/gals have in the way of logos/watermarks/slogans.

Thanks



(apologies if this is in the wrong forum topic)

Here is my first shot at it, not in love with it though

(Yes I do plan on purchasing some "L" lenses in the future lol)

I think it looks good, but the red is much too distracting if you are to use it as a watermark on photos. It'll distract from your total work of art. IF you replace the red with a more subtle color, the watermark will still work, and your art will be able to shine through better.

I'm thinking of a gun with a camera lens on it instead of a barrel. Just a thought, no picture.

Less is more. Your camera is too 'busy'. If you want to use a camera, then simplify it.

If it goes anything like it went for me... you'll get scads of opinions and none of them will be the same.

Ultimately, you'll have to decide on your own. My two cents worth is this... I don't like gray fonts in a logo because it has an unfinished feel to it. It's my opinion and should be taken in that context.
