Logo Contest

Here at Out There Photography, we're fortunate to have many supportive friends and family members. Two of our friends were nice enough to each create a logo for us. We love them both, but we can't decide which one we love better. We toyed around with the idea of having two logos, but then we thought that, considering the huge amount of support we've had with our latest venture, we'd let our friends be the judge and put it to a vote.  Yay for democracy!  So here are the two logos in no particular order:

Logo #1:


Logo #2:

So what do you think?  Let your voice be heard by voting in the poll on the right hand side of the page(if you're reading this on Facebook or elsewhere, you'll have to go to our homepage--www.OutTherePhotography.com--to vote).  Thanks for reading, and check back soon for more photographic goodness!

  1. Hi guys! In my professional opinion, both of these logos are good starting points, but should be further developed to really represent YOU. A quick google search will return hundreds of hints about what to do - and not to do - in making a logo eye-catching, but I think the primary thing to keep in mind is simplicity. Not too many fonts, not too many colors, not too many words, etc., etc., but most importantly, not too many details - people can't remember details, and a logo is meant to be a memorable graphic stand-in for all-that-is-you. While these logos have some great ideas in them, I would work with your designers to try to distill the essence of your business into one simple graphic element so that when someone who has no idea who you are or what you do can see it and KNOW...not what you take pictures of (trees, birds, butterflies, etc), but what feeling those pictures will have (your personal style vs. other nature photographers' styles). Remember: it's a lot harder to rebrand yourself than it is to put the time and money in at the beginning to really make sure you're representing yourself to the public in the way in which you intend. Oh...and you should NEVER NEVER NEVER have two logos, no matter how much you love both people who designed them for you (it's just bad marketing practice)! -Summer
