Logo Design Brief
I'm starting a photography business this summer that specializes in photos of babies from newborn to 1 year old. I don't like the baby photos with old school tie-dye backgrounds and formal posing. I take a more modern, fun approach, and I use a lot of funny props.
I definitely want some sort of image in the logo, whether it be literal or more abstract. Colors are very welcome, (although no bold, primary colors), but it also needs the ability to be watermarked on photos.
The name of the business is "Genesis Photography", which I chose because of the reference to the beginnings of life. Although "genesis" can have religious undertones, I don't want any stereotypical religious images in the logo, like crosses. Any other image ideas that are based on the idea of "genesis" are desired and welcome.
I want the logo to lean towards feminine, but don't really like the overly-elaborate cursive fonts. I also don't want it to be too "kiddy", but a touch of whimsy is welcome. Pinwheels and flower sprouts are two other possible ideas for images, but again, I'm open to other ideas.
****UPDATE: After speaking with peers, I think I'd like to incorporate the words "For life's little beginnings" into the logo design, to help define the fact that I photograph babies. However, if possible, if we could make it an optional add-on, so if I just wanted to use the basic "Genesis Photography" part in some locations, I could. ****
Sorry for all the words and restrictions!! I'm very thankful for your time and expertise!!
