I have been trying to come up with ideas for a logo, thinking it would help me with color selection for my website, all the while struggling for a general idea of where I want to take my photography.

I hired a guy that was mentioned here on OSP, but didn't really have any suggestions or directions, which I'm sure made it more difficult for him. Here are a few samples he sent me for flushing out. I kinda like the second one, but really would like some input.

No. 2 is niiiice

The first is too squirrely and the third doesn't do it for me with the initial H (but the blue line and Herman Images is nice).

number 2

I like the second one, too.

I vote for #2 as well. It is simple and clean!

But is it #2 because it's good, or it's just the best one here?

I like it, and it's growing on me more, but I was hoping for something to blow my socks off when I first saw it and it didn't really happen. I didn't know if I should send him back to the drawing board with some other suggestions or no?

No dont send it back. Its simple, clean and describes what you do with your own style. Keep it fo sho.

#2!

I like #2

I think 2 is a great design, but if it doesn't feel like you then you may want to keep exploring options. Rebranding later is a burden, spend the time now and get what you want.

just my 2 cents.

#2 is the definitely the best out of the three. I don't think the other two are even close to competing. I'd tell him #2 was your favorite and sent him back to the drawing board and see if he comes up with anything better. #2 ain't bad if you're stuck with it though, I'd just be curious to see what else your designer has to offer.

+1

I really like the direction of #2

#2 is the best of the three. The "H" font he used in #1 and #3 is too common. Hope you get something you are thrilled about. Let us know what the final result is.

I loooooove no.2!!

I think # 2 is really cool. I was studying it for a second and all of a sudden I saw a guy on one knee proposing. See it? the guy's body is the "i" the red dot is his head. Okay...so I don't drink coffee in the morning.

I told him I liked number 2 and asked him to go in this direction, but come back with a couple more options. It's really grown on me, I think I was just in a grumpy mood yesterday. I hate when I get the summer car out and then a week later it drops below freezing again.

#2. The others are weak.

I really like 2 a lot -- it's very unique I think, in the Indy market and you really do want to stand out!

No 2 is probably the best of the three. Kinda reminds a lot of of the Tommy Hilfiger
logo.

numero dos is pretty sweet man. I dig it.

#2 is solid!

I'm with everybody else--definitely #2, as long as it describes you and your style---a little edgy/hip, technical, alternative? If you're more of a "nice guy" who likes classical things and wants to reach the more traditional bride market, then #3 might be a better direction (with tweaking that is). All that said, I would go with #2 if it were me.
