Full Branding Package for Photography Company Featured on Creative Live

Posted on April 19, 2013

As seen on Creative Live by Salvatore Cincotta

Salvatore Cincotta recently contracted Visual Lure to design a complete branding/identity package for one of his lucky on-screen viewers at Creative Live.  Gray Photography, soon to be Jeff & Jewels Photography, was the lucky viewer who received the gift.  Included was a new logo design, a stationary/identity package, and a custom WordPress website home page layout.  Sal also requested that we show our design process along the way.  Below you will see everything from initial logo design sketches to final home page design.

After our initial consultation with the client, they decided that “vintage” and “modern” were what they wanted their image to portray.  They wanted it to look high-end yet have a vintage charm, similar to their style of photography. They also wanted to stick with a black and white color theme, which is always a great color pallet for photographers. It allows the photography itself to really stand out.

Here are some of our initial logo design sketches:

Next, we took the sketches into the computer and developed the initial batch of logo design options.  Here are all the initial logos we provided the client:

Once we received feedback, we made a couple minor adjustments to three logos they selected.  Here they are:

The client loved all three and had a hard time deciding, but in the end, they selected the logo design at the bottom. Here is the final logo and stationary/identity package including fonts and patterns.

To wrap up the package, we designed a custom WordPress website home page layout.  Here it is:

Logo Design for Houston, TX Area Photographer/Photography Company

Posted on April 9, 2013

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a new logo for Shabby Jack Photography, a Houston area photography company located in Spring, Texas. The owner, Tracy Hopkins, initially used a logo design “contest website” for her first couple of logos but was never really satisfied with either of the final logos she received, so she finally came to Visual Lure. We ask Tracy to provide us with a couple of logos she liked so we could get an idea of her style and aesthetic.  She provide us with the following logo designs:

 

logo designs Tracy liked

The above logos are for reference only and are the property of their respective owners.

 

Once we had an idea of what Tracy liked, and what she was looking for, we came up with the following logo design options (see below).  Below, you will also see her last “contest” logo and the final two logos that we designed (at the very bottom).

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a logo and identity package for Standard Construction Group, an Ohio based construction company.  The identity package will include designs for business cards, letterhead and envelopes.  The only creative direction we received from the client was that the new logo design should be simple, masculine and strong.

Logo Design Package for Annapolis, Maryland Photographer

Posted on March 1, 2013

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design multiple new logos for David Hartcorn Photography.  David Hartcorn is a very talented professional photographer from Annapolis, Maryland and he knew exactly what he wanted for his new logo.  He wanted a custom typeface logo inspired by his actual signature.  Below you can see his actual signature along with the final logo.  The new logo needed to be refined so that it was legible, but still maintain the same “feel” as his signature.

Next, we designed a logo for David’s premier photography line called Black Label Collection. He wanted the Black Label logo to look classy and high-end.  You can see that logo design below along with an unused logo option to the right of it. Below that, you can see a logo for his sub-brand Studio 98 Photography and a secondary “cartoon” mark he sometimes uses with his signature.
