As we are now at the midpoint of the contest (in retrospect 2 months is too long, but c'est la vie), I thought I would share with everyone the current top entries and comment on what I like about them. Hopefully, this will give a chance for everyone to modify/re-submit entries as they see fit.

Rules can be found here: [link]

Here are the entries so far:

The Top Entries (in no particular order)



What I like about this one is the curves and the colour scheme. Whilst there is colour, the colours are simple. I also like the option of the black and white.



Number two I like because it mimics a camera, whilst still being simple in design.



What I like about this one is the camera (and the snowflake lens). I also quite like the colour of the blue on this one.



I like the curves on this one, though the colour of the blue is not quite right.



I love the shade of blue in this logo. Also, the logo looks very professional, which will help with my clientèle. I'm not quite sure of the emblem, as it doesn't relate to photography.



I really like the aperture rings in the "a".



I like the black and white version of this one, as it is quite similar to my main camera body. the colour version has a complex gradient, which I think would be quite expensive to print.



This entry is great as I can see how the design could be used in a variety of forms. It is quite comprehensive, professional and impressive.



Once again, the detail in the submission is excellent. Colour logo and black and white as well as an example of how it would work.




Last but not least, thanks to everyone who has entered so far!



Cheers!
