Camera Meets Canvas

Describe your company and organization and target audience

I am a photographer. I create fine art images and I also shoot event photography.
I shoot family sessions,weddings,bar mitzvahs, birthdays etc.
I'd like the logo to be on the simple side and able to stand on its own.
I'd like to use the logo as a watermark on my images as well.
I'd like to be able to use the logo on a collard shirt to wear at a wedding or event.

The design should have the following

I am very open to your creativity and almost do not want to write anything in this space.
The company name is Camera Meets Canvas, so I originally envisioned art on an easel with the M being the legs and a painting of a camera on the the canvas but I do not want to stifle creativity in any way shape or form.
There does not have to be an easel in the logo
Some ideas to spark creativity could be tripod,CMC, paint brush or painters palette or polaroid print as a background, but again use your creativity.
The most important things is that people can instantly recognize the logo is for a photography company and it would look good on a polo or button down shirt at any type of event.

I am looking primarily for a logomark.
I'd like the logo to be able to stand on it's own preferably.
But I would like the name of company Camera Meets Canvas to be somewhere possibly underneath.
A camera strap may be an element you can use as a spot to write the company name on
Ideally I'd like to be able use just the mark or use a version with the mark and company name.

This logo will be used for

• Online (Website, facebook etc.)
• Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)
• Merchandise (mugs, t-shirts etc.)
• Signs (including shops, billboards etc.)

What style of logo would you like?

Colors to use in the design

I am not tied to color scheme, I'd like the logomark to look good in black and white though.
Dark Blue color can be possibility but at this point we do not have color scheme.
Silver and Black might be also be nice as well.
Think Elegant, so that you can picture the logo being seen at a wedding on a button down shirt.
