PicYou
PicYou is a photo sharing site similar to Twitpic, Plixi, Instagr.am.
Users upload and share photos. The site will be very streamlined and friendly for all users. Customization will be a big part of the site as well as expression and tapping into the teen and celebrity demographic.
We want to have a simple word mark logo where the font type, color and embellishment plays a large part of the identity. Something that is memorable and easy to read. "Pic You" - People should be able to see it's two words similar to "You Tube".
**** Suggestion Below ****
Font Type
It makes sense to try these two styles of font. Obviously, you are open to try others as well. Just a starting off point.
1. A more fluid writing / cursive type font like vimeo.com, path.com.

http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/bompar…rative-bf/
(just examples but the font type needs to be very easy to read)
2. A pixel type font that is square and very "bit" looking and sleek/concise.
Colors
We want a color that is different (not just standard Twitter / light blue colors), yet friendly. Blues, Whites, Grays, Blacks. Or even Red or Orange might be good options.
Capitalization
PicYou logo might look better with the capital P and Y than all lower case but please try accordingly.
Other site logos and our thoughts on them to give you an idea
vimeo.com - stylized font, simple but a tad plain
path.com - simple yet has a memorable unique feel
twitpic.com / plixi - friendly but maybe a tad bubbly
youtube.com - bold but less polished than some of the newer site logos. Still very memorable.
http://bit.ly/flfSuk - young feeling but quite memorable as well. Nice use of the "!".
