New Logo For Photographer

Ramon Gutierrez Photography

I am a photographer looking to create a new brand for his company.

Ramon Gutierrez Photography is young, hip, fun and exciting.

I need a new logo that can be the basis for my entire brand.

I’d like a logo that has a new and fresh feel yet can remain timeless. The logo must contain my full company name – Ramon Gutierrez Photography, have a color version, black and/or white version, and a smaller “watermark” version. These logos will be placed over photographs that I take which may sometimes have busy backgrounds.

I mostly cater to ‘young and hip’ clients. Most of my clients are typically very well connected with Facebook, Twitter, and the Internet. They are fun, hip and current with fashion and current trends.

These words describe what I’m looking for in a new look / logo –

Clean
Modern
Fun
Masculine

Colors / Feel –
I’d like something completely new with an ‘edge’. I’m aiming for something that is modern, sleek, and unique. Possibly somewhat abstract.

Fonts –
Fonts should be clean and fresh.

Please, NO OVERUSED FONTS (Ex: Trajan, Comic Sans, Times, Helvetica, Papyrus, Copperplate, etc.)

Graphic –
I am open to any ideas. Perhaps play with my initials (RG) ? Or maybe my first name (Ramon).

Don't Want –
-No literal photography logos: no cameras, no film strips, etc.
-No bubbly fonts
-No clip art
-No Cartoons

Where The Logo Will Be Used –
-My website: http://www.RamonGutierrez.com
-Business Cards
-As a Watermark on my photography
-Other Marketing Materials

Finished Requirements –

Provide The Following Variations of Winning Design:
-Color on white/light background & color on black/dark background
-Monochromatic: black on white & white on black

For Each Variation –
-Native Editable Format (Layered Photoshop PSD, Adobe Illustrator (CMYK), etc.)
-List of All Fonts Used (Font Name, Author, Website)

I’d like to have the graphics in illustrator vector based files (.ai - CMYK) so that I may tweak them as needed and/or to pull parts out to use in other marketing materials.

Please feel free to be creative and create something unique!
