Logo Design Brief
Logo for a photography business called Time in a Bottle Photography. I want something that can be used as a logo, a watermark over proofs, and on social media as a profile pic or banner.
I like the idea of a simple camera outline and an hourglass or sands of time effect in the lens, but I am open to all ideas.
I don't want ultra modern. I like a classic/vintage feel and don't mind a hand drawn or old school tattoo kind of vibe, but do like strong, clean lines. I want to capture the magic of photography as a tool for preserving memories and the intangible. I like photographs with an illustrative quality that feel intimate and focus on strong relationships and connection whether they be of newborns, families, events or pets.
A familiar, nostalgic, yet professional image that will stand out from the crowd and a logo to match!
