Opinions on logos

I like the first one the best.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

The thought process behind the last logo was a water droplet (seascapes) and mountains (landscapes). Similar to the first one with the wave going through the mountains.

I'm still not convinced haha! I do appreciate everyones comments, though! Thank you all!

How about using either of the first 2 but adding a circular shutter to make it look like it is a rising or setting sun behind the mountain as added photography emphasis.
Just my .02

Please no. No cameras, aperture blades/shutters etc.

I like the strong shapes of the first one. I don't like the big black area in the second one, and I don't like the water drop or the circular border in the third.

I like 1 best.

1 looks nicest, 2 is more photographic. 3 not working, the droplet is suggesting you're doing something with water.

#1 is very Modern. I can see that on any fresh website design.
#2 is very classic. Would be a good logo for T shirts, or hats, etc.


Just my 2 cents. Good stuff though for sure.

Thanks again, everyone!

This is my latest concept. I'm taking it in a different direction by trying something that isn't a typical logo. I went with something a little more 'graphical' in this design. I really dig it.

What do you guys think?

It reminds me of a button I have on a hiking backpack. It is nice as a logo... just doesn't say photography to me.

That's true! I agree that a lot of logos 'say' what they're advertising/selling but just as many don't.

Looking around my office, almost all of the logos I can see don't at all represent their respected companies. Apple sell computers, their logo is an apple. Logitech sell electronic media devices, I have no idea what their logo is supposed to be. Toyota, along with every car maker I can think of; sell cars, but Toyota's logo is a few circles squished to form a 'T'. UPS transport goods, their logo is a few letters in a badge... I hope you don't feel I'm being rude, I'm just trying to make my point

Personally, I think it works either way. If I'm wrong, please correct me! I want to get this right!

I personally like the middle one.

It all depends on the context it is used. A logo on its own doesn't build the brand. The style of imagery, the marketing material around it etc will all do that.

Absolutely! I don't plan on waiting for my logo to get me noticed, I just want a nice looking logo that captures what I shoot. Hopefully, my images will do the talking!

Consistency of use is key. Don't just think logo, think every aspect of your branding. The more people seem the same think the more it will resonate with them.
