Easy Logo Design Contest - Photographer Seeks Clean Logo Design

yasmeen photo

I am a versatile photographer and I need a versatile logo - I shoot family portraits, corporate and private events, headshots, interior design projects, etc.

My style for shooting people is photojournalistic. I have a eye for getting special moments or expressions with kids and the photos tell a story whether a portrait session or event.

I need to appeal to both individuals hiring me to shoot pictures of their families (in other words, friendly, competent, easy to work with, good with kids) and event production companies, marketing departments of event space, professionals seeking headshots, etc. (meaning professional, progressive, thorough, no drama)

Use the name: yasmeen photo
(I like it with the lowercase)

I am a very energetic person and my logo should represent my energy and professionalism. I would like to see some ideas that are simple and clean but energetic.

You can approach the logo either with an icon or without but please no stock icons or clipart. Really seeking unique, creative approach.

Overall:
*Nothing too girly, flowery or frilly
*Nothing too overly masculine, a nice balance of approachable and friendly but professional and clean.
*Think sleek and modern

Type treatment:
*Simple, modern fonts
*No calligraphy looking fonts or fonts that look like handwriting

If Icon:
*No stock icons or clipart
*I was considering maybe something circular that could represent a lens without actually looking like a lens or camera body. Very abstract so you almost can't tell.
*Or, use my first initial Y and create an icon out of that.

You can get creative with colors. Some colors I have considered are some sort of fresh(but not electric) green, or a slate blue. I'm open to suggestions, just not pink or anything too feminine.

I would like to see b&w version as well as color version.

I will want the illustrator file, or whatever it is created in.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your awesome creative work! Thanks for reading my brief. Let's see what you got! : )
