Hi, I am in the process of building a brand and I would appreciate some feedback.

I am focussing on sports and event photography and the "Blue" I have used is the regional colour for the area I live in.

Assuming these are more business card designs mixed with the logo designs you are asking our opinions on right?

If so, I like the first one, but the icon (graphic part), the rest like the font, is bland, out dated feel to it, unless that's the style you want to portray? Don't know...

I might reconsider the spacer line between words (sports events occasions) in your logo. I casually glanced at it, and my mind read 'sports Levents Loccasions'. The lines looked like lowercase L's to me. Perhaps try just a space between the words? Or make the spacer line taller from top to bottom so it's not the same height as the letters.

I like the first JMP logo. Just put the JMP part on photos. I don't like any of the circular ones.

Thanks, LH side is the logo and I have drafted them into a business card layout. are there any fonts you think I should look into? I have this problem where I like a font for a while and then I find myself hating it, this being the reason I went for a plain Jane font.

I see what you mean about the spacer | great feedback :)

I can't really say, I would need that logo, slap into my InDesign and play with all my fonts of how it looks with that logo... could easily take hours since I got tons of fonts and I am a logo/advertising designer who does get paid for this type of work... If you'd like hit me a pm and I can send you a quote if you want me to design a business card with that logo/icon.

I agree 100% that the spacer needs to be changed to something more legible.


I want to guest blog on your Landscape / Travel photography blog, PM for details
