my old website was all black. I am thinking the new one will be white and more modern. I love modern/classic fonts. Art and commerce website, phillip starck website, the harpers Bazaar logo, 10magazine website. Something sophisticated! with great taste

I would stayway from making it say olsonfoto.com or anything .com I would really like for the designer to be inspired by Alexy Brodovitch the designer. In him you will understand what I want. I am NYC, I am chic, I have taste, I love paris, I love design. I love MOMA, I love modern, I love architecture, I love the movie, A single Man, Tom Ford, ect.. taste taste. I may be asking for a lot, but please do your homework before submitting! I am very picky

hi. If you want your logo to be fully scaleable and easy to use, then you must ask vector. It should be EPS or PDF, those formats if logo is made in vector saves you from headeches

My name is Jeff Olson. I am a photographer. MY website has been listed as olsonfoto forever and will continue, unless I find something else I like. My stationary says Jeff Olson Photography. I am looking for a way to brand it all. Perhaps it's more involved than finding a logo?

maybe I am looking for both.. Jeff Olson Photographer or photography and olsonfoto. Separate, but tied together by design.

Out of the entries so far, are there any characteristics that you like? I understand you might not like any as a whole, but small things can be put together to quite possibly find that mix you're looking for.

A branding solution is definitely more involved than just designing a logo. A logo is a very important part of branding but it's not the only thing. When you decide to create a brand everything from logo, to stationary, to your website must all have the same feel and visually convey the same message. Creating a branding solution can be a very large undertaking as well. I'll give it my best but first I must know what message you want your brand or image to tell people. And second how well known is your work? If you get jobs just by your name alone it will help determine just what type of brand mark you can use. Someone well established can use more subtle imagery to create a brand because they are marketing their name more so than services. If clients already know you kick ass before they call then essentially you are selling yourself and this will change how your brand will look. I hope this long reply makes sense because it's late and I tend to ramble when it comes to design. Thanks 13cranes

wow.. WOW.. So many logos. My contest is almost over. I really need to go through all of these which may take a couple days as I am redesigning my website. I am really amazed by all the talented artists whom have made suggestions for me. Really really blown away. It will be a hard choice as there a few that really inspire me. Give me a few to make up my mind.
