I'd like to hire someone for the small project of drawing me a logo for my photo copyright mark
I know pretty much what I want, I think.
any takers? :smile:

The level of talent on this site is truly mind boggling!:biggrin: :jump:

No offense to Stan,:wink: but you might try contacting Jesse Speer.

The compostion is nice, Stan. The text looks a little shakey, though--too much coffee, perhaps? :biggrin:

Thanks, Phillip, Jesse Speer is a great choice.

Good luck wth your search, Sandy.

Hi Sandy,
I know some one who is only slightly better than Stan, but most likely less expensive:
Andreas Resch. He designed the logo on his website (www.andreasresch.at).

He also did the artwork for the attached cover (see image) of a recently released board game. Yes, he's a graphic artist :wink:

A former art director partner of mine from my advertising agency days did my business cards and several other photographers upon my referral. Let me know if you would like her contact info. She's good and reasonably priced.

Sandy,

I do graphic design, logo development, menus, brochures, etc. Give me a call or contact me through my photo website if you're interested.

Hi All,

I was reading an opinion piece by John Tantillo, a marketing expert. In the article he discusses the recent change that Starbucks made to their logo; a change with which he did not agree. In the article I read this:

"Logos have to use our common language. You can’t foist some private code onto people just because you think it’s cool, clever or memorable. Logos must re-enforce and support how the customer relates to your brand. Logos are there to remind present and future customers of the brand and the products associated with that brand. "

I found this statement very interesting, and thought I'd pass it along, given the present context. It's certainly something to consider, since most of us have web sites, or other venues to show and market our work.

The complete article by Mr. Tantillo can be found here.
