Logo Design Brief
I am a professional photographer specialising in wedding and corporate photography.
My company name, Protography, is a take on combining the words 'Professional and Photography'. The logo should somehow reflect this.
I would like to see some examples that in addition to 'Protography' include the words 'creative imagery' as a tagline.
The logo should be clean and simple (no clip-art please).
I am open to ideas on use of colour, but the logo will need to work on both white and black backgrounds.
My wedding and corporate clients are quite different; I need a logo that will appeal to both market segments.
The logo will be used on everything from business cards to motor vehicle signage.
Updates
Hi, thank you for showing interest in my logo project. Please note that I have just updated the brief. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Cheers, David.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hi everyone, I would really like to thank all those who have submitted designs to my project. There are several designs that I am seriously considering.
I am extending the project by 7 days because my brief may not have been clear enough, and so some of the early submissions were not close to what I was after.
To be clear, the logo should:
- Appeal to both Corporate clients and Wedding Clients (25+ years)
- Be font based and be SIMPLE, MODERN, CLEAN, CLASSY.
- Have Protography as the main element, and include the tag line, 'creative imagery'
- Emphasise the 'Pro' part of Protography (the name comes from combing the words Professional Photography.
- Be shown on a white background and reversed out on a black background.
I will endeavour to give you timely feedback on your submissions (obviously the various time zones will affect this).
I really appreciate the time and energy that you are putting into my project and am looking forward to seeing some more of your creative work.
The project won't be extended again; I will be making a decision at the close of this extension.
Please contact me if any clarification is required. Cheers, David.

Requirements
Must have
- Clean, modern, timeless. Final files must be scalable without any loss of quality.
Should not have
- The design should not use old-style, serif fonts. Please do not include cliche'd clip-art cameras; if a camera is part of the logo, it should be integrated into the overall design and should not dominate the logo.
