Not bad, but not as elegant as I would want for a logo. Just really a heavy feeling to it.

Yep, agreed. But I like the fact that you could put this on the side of a car and people would be not only able to read it, but also to understand what the business is about.

Can't stand elegant but illegible logos.

eta: for instance, I like the third one in the survey ones, but I can't read it clearly, couldn't possibly read it on the side of a car, and would have to squint at a business card displaying it.

I'll go along with that, sort of. It does feel a little heavy. But it feels more heavy presented this way than it would when used as part of a design for a business card, and as

Pamb pointed out it would work well "on the side of a car" and so forth. But I'm just a dabbler at this stuff, not a high-end graphic designer. Still, when I think of Joshua Minso and his work/style, "elegant" is not what comes to mind. "Solid", even "aggressive", would be closer to the mark.

You do make a fine point.

I can help you make up your mind by saying "If you want to use MY version, that'll be $750.00, please!" Would that help? (Just kiddin')

Yes, quite exactly my thoughts.

My favorite are the top left and the top right, but I agree with the previous posters that the MP should be worked with a bit more.

I think there may be some mileage in the half camera logo and agree if this was the case, the mp needs some work.

Design is such a subjective thing - I remember the difficulty I have had choosing designs on 99designs in the past. I don't think anything ever really blew me away but then I was paying peanuts so I can't complain. I do remember thinking the amount of time I had to spend giving feedback to all the designs was a huge amount of time and I felt the time would have been better spent having a go myself in Photoshop or Illustrator. The great thing is you can always change your logo in a years time so don't get too hung up on it and don't print too many business cards at once.

I am pretty sure I know what I want to go with. It will relate well on a card, pen, website, t-shirt etc... It is clean and simple and different. And one of the first designs I received, the one with the camera is nice and all but again it looks like any number of other photographers logos.

Geeze, Oliver, no need to rub it in. I was just playing around a little and I said so :-(
