What do you think of this Logo?
Permalink  

I have been working really hard to find a logo for my studio. I think I finally decided on one. Now, in the conversion to jpg it pushed the border closer then it should be, so try to ignore how close the border is. I have to get the download for my program to be able to convert it without it doing this...........so.......what do you think??

Ok Katz...you know how much I love your photography...so please do not take this personal. When I see the logo with the tiger and all....I don't see elegance and class? Does that make sense?

Do you have any suggestions on what you think would make it look better?

I also really love your photography.  However, when I see this logo, although I like it, I don't feel it fits its purpose.  Make sense?

Okay, again, do you have any suggestions on what would make it better?

Sorry Katz.  We must have posted around the same time.  I didn't see your question.  I really like the black and gold.  I think that is very classy.  Maybe just drop the tiger and center Katz.  I'm not very good at this sort of thing but looking around on-line at some photographers web-sites most things are very simple and classy.  The calligraphy you picked is very nice and as I said before I like the colors.  I don't know about everybody else but I know I would like it if it simply said Katz Photography in the calligraphy and colors you picked.

The reason we did the "Cat" was because of the name, my husbands logo also incorporates the "cat" look for "Katz". (I designed this one too) So we wanted to have similar but not the same looks. I will play around with flowers but I would like to keep it in the "cat" field.

Perhaps an exotic flower, Orchid or something exotic. Everything else is nice.

I like it just the way it is.
It is soft, feminine and powerful.
The tiger is a very powerful symbol in Korea, and in the coming age, a great deal of your client base will come from Asia. The cat may get peoples' attention faster than a flower[pretty, but weak as a symbol].
The money making corporations in this country are represented by Jaguar, Bull, Lion etc.
Would not hurt your business to be profit minded, and flowers are not near enough aggressive compared to Tigers.
Besides, you are not confined to photos of gardens, but may indeed be photographing animals. Pick up this month's National Geographic if you want to see world class photos. Some of them are animals which are rapidly disappearing as we destroy their habitats.
I have Tigers in my bathroom. They make me feel confident.
My business card is gold on black [called plastisheen]. Kinko's did it for me.

Thanks Kitty. You made a lot of good points there. We are already seeing alot of the asian population over here. Where I live(small town) there are not many but we can see where they will be soon.

I love the font you've used, not so crazy about the tiger.  I get the tie-in to Katz, but it just doesn't make me think of beautiful photography when I see it.


If you want to keep the cat theme, what about using one of the amazing photos you have taken of your cat and use that as a backdrop instead of a logo?  Change the font color to something dark and lighten the intensity of the photo so it doesn't interfere with the writing, but let people see what you do.  Does that make sense?  I have this great picture in my head, but I don't know if I'm describing it clearly...

I like the font but not the colors. A photographer needs more color. The lion i'm not feeling either. I understand the wanted of "Katz" I would look for a different cat image. Your husbands looks wonderful. Try useing lighter colors and maybe finding another cat image. Your logo looks more like a reality and your hubbys looks more like a photographer.


 


BTW You can always come here for the truth! Looks like sometimes we can be a little brutle! LOL

Have you tried to play with pics of your kitties??? I tried a few with Asha (I think thats how you spell her name) Here are a few...


Maybe you can use that color gray as background. If you get biz cards you can have that part of the pic raised and lowered where you can feel it.



 


Same with this one. I really don't know how hard it would be, but this way you are keeping you "cats" theme and using your own pics at the same time.
