    Dear Creative Designers,

    I was well impressed with your ideas for the first Logo design: "Emotional Wedding Photography",

    Here is a short continuation,

    I am looking for unique, elegant LOGO for my photography portfolio,
    This logo needs to be based on the attached logo of the "Emotional Wedding Photography", as these two businesses are connected.

    It needs to have some similarities in terms of creativity and elegant finish.

    The logo needs to mirror my photography,
    Please see images on my website: gregkowal.com and think how to express this style into logo.

    Please see the info about my requirements:

    1. My business is related to documentary and fashion photography,

    2. Background colours similar to the website design, i'd prefer white logo on dark background.

    3. The logo shall include tagline "Documentary & Fashion" but other ideas are welcomed.

    4. Files: scalable .ai and PSD

    This contest is valid for 48 hrs only, so please make it quick!

    The winner will be paid by Paypal.

    i would like to state that If the logo designs will not suit my needs, then no winner is chosen but this situation will rather not occur,

    I will do my best to give you a guidance on every design you post.

    Illuminate-Graphic - i have the logo for "Emotional Wedding Photography" and i do not need a new one. Please read description again, thanks.

    rxzor - that's a good attempt! I like classy feel and minimalistic style in your logo, can you put a tagline "Documentary & Fashion" on the right side of the logo for a header purpose?

    BTW, i used LondonMM font for "Emotional Wedding Photography" and it works well to tell the story, can you make an experiment with this font? either for tagline, or for main logo fonts or both.

    Thank you for your designs!

    brainstormingin - i like the first proposal, however the logo looks a little bit busy, too many elements together. I like the fashionable feel there.

    Can you make also a compact version of this logo for watermarks on pictures?

    rxzor - yes, this is much better now! Can you please put "Photography under Kowalski" as it is on the attached logo of "Emotional Wedding Photography" where "PHOTOGRAPHY" is under "WEDDING". And please also make more space on the right for tagline "Documentary & Fashion".

    Can you make also a compact version of this logo for watermarks on pictures?

    sek - this is not something i am up to, G looks like C in your design.. and your design is too busy.. and lacks of this great classy touch.

    Right,
    Designer was paid for his design, etc.

    But another designer sent PM with saying that this logo could be a result of plagiarism: http://www.gk-usa.net/?p=30

    Yes, i see some similarities, especially "K" however there is different design of "G" and different font,

    I want to see your opinions because i want this logo to be creative and unique not "knock off" of someone's logo.
    Is this idea, inspiration or..?

    I had no intention to design a similar logo to that company. Actually, I've never heard nor seen their logo before. I've been using GK uppercase letters of Devil Breeze font to design it. Designers who have that font can confirm.

    @Gregory Kowalski

    Whilst there are similarities between rxzor's design and GK health, that is only because a G looks like a G and a K looks like a K. The design is different. It's not a knock off, and the designer who said he plagiarized really has no idea what plagiarism is.
