POTN Aussie Club #8 - Einsteins won't make you smart

I need your considered opinion on a logo a friend did up for me.Please give me you honest feedback, the logo guy will never look in here so you wont hurt any feelings. Dont worry about the pic of Jo in the bikini, I haven't done any editing on it and only a bit of NR on the fashion parade model.

What logo?

Ps. I made it, so all C&C is welcome, and I can take it. Here's an un-compressed version that's a little cleaner.

Could you try them on a few more shots Damo? I've got to make an accurate decision on this.

Really, I'm not a fan Damo. It appears too tacky in that colour and I have a feeling you may run into a problem with contrast between it and an image in the future.

I do however like the sea shell. I'd find a way to incorporate that.

Not bad...But maybe a touch too loud ??

Maybe if it was a bit muted ?

Austen.

(Great work on the sea-shell "o" ! )

^^^^ Snap Al !!!

Yes, I agree about the colour. Damo hasn't chosen a colour yet, so I went with blue as it's sea like.

Re: Logo

It's clean, and the shell is a nice touch. Remains to be seen how well it copes with all images.
Not sure, but a very oof drop shadow may be interesting (I'd have to see it before making a call on that one).

Congrats on the shoot and good luck with potentially more!

Cheers mate. Just talked to the bloke, and he's VERY happy, both with the pics and the turnaround time.

Nah, don't think they're for me.

Juice and any other Melbournians interested in bigger lights, see if you can get along and hear Guido from Profoto USA talk about light modifiers..
Seeing its in Collingwood.

I might go, but there's NO way I can afford them. Thanks for the headsup.

I hear what you're saying, but at around $3,000 for a two-light setup, I'd really have trouble justifying that to SWMBO !!

Yup, indeed.

I could sneak the Einstein in under "petty-cash", and for the D-Lite4's / Quadras the CapEx request would likely be "rubber-stamped"...But the Rangers .........

Yeah, but they do like nice. Don't they Ed?

I'm not going Elinchrom anytime soon at this stage. I really wasn't convinced by the Q's as at 1 pack per head (in order to acheive useable power) I can't justify the cost at this stage in my career.
The RX's are the way to go for me when I decide that the I've reached the AB's limits.

Me too.

ME TOO!

He wrote off the D4s, and hadn't heard of Alien Bees, but did assure us that "Elichrom sells 10 times as many as them", which is good work given he hadn't heard of them.

On another note, I've got to figure out how to fold up this diffuser panel now.

Keep twisting

Sorry to raid your Flickr Damo...

Great tax guys,Phil beware of wallabies bearing gifts.
Al,love the dog shot,the abstracts are interesting like the green one.Careful mate lest Maggie slaps an AVO on ya.
Dave d as usual mate well done.
Damo,what can I say....nice,as for the logo maybe a softer colour and wave like letters to match the shell and maybe a touch smaller font.
I know Ive forgotten someone,sorry.

Try a drop shadow behind it to give it that seperation.

Better?

Quoted for Al. Shadow dropped, and colour lost. I could probably extend the shadow a little bit more too.
