Logo Design Brief
I am a documentary photographer searching for a SIMPLE, DISTINCTIVE, MODERN and FRESH logo that is distinctive among the family photography industry which is saturated with handwritten, super feminine logos and flowery graphics.
Documentary photography is about capturing unscripted, unposed, and raw moments. This is not about parks at sunset and smiling children in matching clothes or babies in baskets (NOTE: Many are quite talented at this type of photography, and I respect them for that, but this is not for me, personally). My logo should reflect my style and vision with a clean and modern look, while still appealing to my clientele, which is often mothers.
In addition to documentary family photography work, I also do NGO documentary work abroad. My logo needs to strike a the perfect balance between feminine and masculine for the work I do and the type of client I want to attract. I am open to a very judicious use of any handwritten font. That said, the market in my area is SATURATED with overdone graphics, birds, handwritten fonts, florals, and nautical elements (I live in Annapolis, outside of Washington, D.C.). My logo needs to be DISTINCTIVE from all of this. Yet, it also needs to have a crafted, creative and personal touch to appeal to mothers. Easier said than done!
I am launching a new business this fall and the first impression needs to be polished and professional. My website is under construction (which I know makes it more difficult for you) but you can see some of my personal work on Instagram at @sarahjaneholden. Thanks in advance for your effort and I so look forward to seeing your work!

Requirements
Must have
- Important: I am searching for ORIGINAL and THOUGHTFUL logo design submissions and value your expertise as a designer. I find it very helpful to hear your RATIONALE as to the design choices you have made to understand how that applies to my MARKET and my individual needs as a photographer. Any explanation you can provide as to your creative process in arriving at a final submission, and rationale for those choices is incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance!
- As for the logo...it must be...
- Modern + Clean + Simple + Distinctive
- Dark Greys
- sans serif
- versatile across multiple mediums
- easily readable at any size
- well balanced
- all pieces should be integrated and WORK TOGETHER AS ONE (typeface/fonts should enhance one another and initial icons and text should work together well, not look like two logos sitting next to one another).
Should not have
- circular stamp-like logos
- handwritten fonts
- florals + cameras + any large distracting graphic elements
- serif fonts
- i am not looking for replicas of my attachments.
