Logo Design Brief
I need a logo design for my photography business. I am just using my name 'Dean Richter Photography' and I am primarily a wedding and portrait photographer but I also shoot fashion and product so the logo needs to be 'elegant' enough to appeal to brides but also unique and nondescript enough to suit the other genres of photography I shoot.
Updates
Hi, my apologies to all who have already replied to my project post. I didn't see the extra detail fields I needed to fill in to help you with your submissions. I have updated it now so hopefully it will give you a better idea of what I am after.
Regards
Dean

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: One of the designers had created a few designs but missed the cut-off. He requested the chance to submit them, and I am going to allow just this one day for that submission.

Target Market(s)
I am wanting to present my business as high end, stylish wedding and portrait photography. I also shoot fashion and product photography so the logo should not just be aimed at the wedding market.

Requirements
Must have
- I would like the logo to be readily associated with me so something that is unique and recognizable is what I am after. I would like a cleverly designed symbol created from my initials in some sort of a freehand font to go with the business name.
Nice to have
- I like the play on initials in many designs so following that theme would be worthwhile but not necessarily essential.
Should not have
- No photo backgrounds cameras, lenses as part of the logo.
