Logo Design and then some.

Basically. I want to market myself as a brand over just "Brad Monette" for my photography. I'll be looking to do model shoots and weddings that kind of thing. So I've developed a brand "White Tie Photography". Along with it, I also developed this logo.

The issue I'm having now, is coming up with a suitable colour scheme that can be transferable to a complete corporate identity: website, letterhead, business cards.

Any comments, tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

quite like the first one as it is. the tie could do with some cleaning up though

I really like the brown too. Great colors.

Agreed, the first one looks better, because the green works better with the brown, and black is over used nowadays. I'd use the brown for the main writing in a letter head, and the green for any italics or so - wait, no, interchange what I just said.
As for the website: brown background, green titles, white font - and business cards...well, you pretty much have it right there in your logo.
Very nice :)

After much cleaning up, trial and error and a whole lot of cursing at Photoshop I'm down to to potential winners. Time for the final decision to be made.

I'm personally leaning more towards the sans-serif version.

if you're set on those two new ones, I'd pick the one on the left.

but I like the first brown version more. it's a lot cleaner.

the problem with the first one was the typo didn't fit, leading and kerning were way off on the "photography" and the tie looks like crap. I cleaned up the tie a lot, and the different font would, theorhetically let me attract an older, more mature audience, such as somone who was getting married.

I think you could go both ways and still have it looking professional.. :) The brown does match the green and it's not as bright for those with sensitive eyes.. The black, however, does bring out better contrast than the brown one..

Now.. For the last two images posted, I believe the one on the left is a better font. However, I think the "P" in photography needs to come in just a tad and be even with the edge of the "W" in the word white. I also think the "Photography" needs to come up closer to the "White" text. Not too much, just a tad bit..

Overall, I really like what you have design wise.. Looks very nice and professional.. ;)

I like the one on the left. But i don't liek the font you used for the White Tie text. It just looks...Bleh in my opinion. I dunno. Besides the text awesome job.

fersher my nigga

the second one is too big you want that to transfer across i'd definatley suggest choosing another font, the spacing between the characters is too big, i'd suggest making that smaller too (i'm doing this kind of thing in my class at the moment)

My words too, nice job on these:)

This is what I like and I think that atleast to an untrained artistic eye, it would look appealing. The idea isn't to cramp the entire logo/logotype all into one little corner. That's where I started and I wasn't completely happy. I wanted a distinctive typography that could relate well to both an older and younger generation of people so that my clientelle wasn't restricted. If you have another idea for a font to be used, suggest it to me and I'll test it out and see if I like it and if it conveys the proper message to my target audience.

Thanks for the comments up until now.

IMO, it fits the theme you were going for ;)

Meh i kinda see what your gettin at. I dunno though...Its a hard descision. ya know?

Sans-serif ftw

Another update! And a completely new direction.

I know it still needs a lot of work, sizing, refinement, and colours and that kind of stuff, but I just wanted to get a base down and bring it here. Comments?

tie outside the shirt would be better I think... seeing as how it is white tie photography and not black shirt photography, lol

the full deal with the overcoat though and such looks like pwnage

and on the type, you might want to adjust the 'w' a little so that it appears to line up better with the 'p'... I know it already is lined up, it just looks a little awkward like that cause the w is thin on the left and the p is thick on the left so it looks.... unbalanced.
