I’ve added some of my logo inspiration on my blog— things that I like: www.patipakulis.blogspot.com

pati:

Just something to think about – still hoping to see my name in some sort of script font… then photography in a more manuscript font… or vice versa!

pati:

would love to see someone use the font AL Sandra for my name…Pati Pakulis…

pati:

Also… just to help in the process. Regarding each element and their level of impact Name first…most prominant piece.. then the word photography… then tag or symbol/design element. So if you add any type of symbol… I’d like to compliment…

Also – there is one design on my blog as inspiration that I love— and would be interested in seeing something like it: See www.patipakulis.blogspot.com and look at the logo Lisette Arebencia …

pati:

would love to see another design with a flourish

pati:

Regarding the use of any type of flourish—- I prefer they be subtle…..

pati:

Another thing I notice——- most work done on a black background resonates with me more.

pati:

Trying to give all logos feedback. If I miss you – please feel free to remind me! I am thankful for all entries!

pati:

Here’s something fun.. that I like. I like the contrast of script with font—— Just for some ideas. I notice so many logos are all going in one direction—- and I see would like to see some other fresh ideas

Thank everone for all these entries. One thing I want to mention. There are several logos I like that follow a general pattern – and I am excited about that. However, this was not a directly intentional choice on my part- but rather an evolution of this process. But it does not mean that I am not open to other logos that break that pattern. I still hope to see fresh arragngements of my name , tag, etc. My only true requirement was that the logo be done on a black backgorund. That is one of my requirements.

Otherwise, I still hope to see designs that surprise me or are a fresh pattern – before this competiton is concluded! I know I have a classic bent…. but I’d like to see arrangements that are not just following this patter;

Design up top
Name
Photography
Line
Tag

I hope that makes sense… Thank you all!

pati:

Sorry for the typos in my last comments. I was in a hurry and on my iphone.

pati:

Thank you all for your submissions… this has been a wonderful learning process. With just a few days remaining in the competition, I wanted to offer some final feedback

There are two logos that I am leaning toward the most:

http://logosauce.comlogos55007

http://logosauce.comlogos54555

http://logosauce.comlogos54662

http://logosauce.com/logos/55046

What I like is that they feel clean, balanced and they have that classic bent that I seem drawn toward. There is also a timelessness that I sense. They are not faddish or trendy.. and they help define what I strive for in my photography; and elegance, yet realness, timelessness and expertise in quality.

I am seeing that simple is better

I am leaning toward less, not more

I love having one design/symbol that is simple, yet feminine, that can always be associated with me with or without my name being present.

As much as I have hoped for a script font for my first name… and I have wanted this all along, I see that my name actually stands more firm in a manuscript font – yet it can still remain feminine. I also see that there is a greater impact I feel when it is not a script font.
There is one logo that I am still considering, that has a script font… but the tendency is that I am leaning toward manuscript.

I wanted to see what a rainbow concept would feel like – and I now know that a rainbow is not what would work for me in my professional endeavor toward branding – it is to remain personal for me.

Overall, I’ve also learned that I am not a totally out of the box individual – which is not as fun I’m sure for a designer, but I think I’ve really narrowed it down to this:
I want something clean, simple & solid with a bit of a classic elegant flare for impact.

This competition has plenty of room for final submissions over the next few days and I will make sure to give feedback as often as I can.

Would love to continue to see other concepts… as they line up with this final feedback!

pati:

For the record… most of the logo submissions are the same concept at this point. Not sure if you all are tired of this competition – but I am still open to fresh and design concepts that fall into this catagory –
clean, simple & solid with a bit of a classic elegant flare for impact.

pati:

Sometimes I wonder what type of design I could get if I just went completely opposite of what I think I like

For Ex: Fun, whimsical, on a white background – any takers? Maybe I’d be pleasantly surprised.

pati:

enjoying seeing my name in lower case a bit!

pati:

As I see some lighter and more fun designs… I’m drawn more to the meaning of my tagline…
An artistic celebration of life!

Maybe my logo needs to reflect that artistic celebration! Happy, uplifting, fun…… rethinking things mucho! Loving the new concepts!

pati:

curious to see just my name as the logo… how creative can you all be with that? NO symbol or design. takers? Can my name stand alone? Meaning Pati Pakulis Photography – that’s it!

pati:

I’ve tried to give as much feedback as possible – really hoping to see some revisions today. Continued new submissions are more than welcome. It’s not too late – no decisions are final at this point. Thank you ALL!

pati:

It looks like there’s about 9 hours left…. even though the expiration date on the competition says Aug 7th. Thank you all for your submissions… my job is going to be very difficult! It’s not too late to submit—- but I will not be available for immediate comments as I am in a seminar throughout the day.

Thank you all again – and best of luck!
