With my website finally going live, and with work on my new book progressing, one of the things that I'd really like to accompany it is a new and fantastic logo for my photography company.

Me and my uncle spent a good while working on my logo, but thanks to both of ours lack of skills when it comes to fonts and creating pictures its not quite how I want it to look. Heres what it looks like at the minute...



As you can see, its quite boxy, and I only have it in this really small size, so its not practical to use for print. So my hope is that I can hold a logo contest for a month or so, maybe longer and see what you might come up with! I'd like it to be a bit girlier, it doesn't even necessarily have to have a pirate symbol of any kind in it, I like swirly writing and rock and roll, and all colours except browns and tans. I like simple and dramatic and girly and pretty, so its very open to interpretation! I'd prefer it to be a landscape style, like the header of a journal, so I could use it on my website, but also readable when its been shrunk down. So..

Competition rules

I want a new logo for my photography. It needs to say my name in it, Pirate Photography, and everything else is up to you! Whatever you think might suit me. The judges will be myself and ~SayuriSaku my partner, though I will have the final say.
It cannot contain any mature content, or copyright images/works that you do not have full and express permission to use.
It cannot use any of my own photographic work, it must use text and logo design only.
I will require hi-res files of the winner and full permission to use the design.

Prizes

Theres only going to be one place in this contest, the winner, but I will feature all the entries in my journal as they come in, and any I particularily enjoy that don't win may get features for the artists who create them.

3 month sub
9x12 print of your choice from my gallery
Permanent feature in my journal as one of my 'thank you's'
Feature in my journal with a variety of your artwork
Feature on my website with links to your own/your deviantart account
Mention in my book as logo creator

This is all I can offer at the moment, but if you can offer any prizes, features, anything it would be geatly appreciated!

I would also mention, I do plan at some point to get a tattoo that represents my photography, so its possible that it could be the logo you design!

If you wish to enter, send me a note with 'logo competition' in the title and the thumb of your entry so I can fave it and feature it. Anyone can enter as many times as you like.


If you can pimp this journal in your own that would be great!
