Lets admit the fact that Photography is one of those few industries that are
mostly discussed in Logo designing field. As a logo designer from five years, I
have designed dozens of Logos in this industry and I love to do it. BUT I’ve
seen many designers struggling to achieve that KISS factor in it. That’s the
reason today I came up with an idea to pick 9 most inspiring Logo ideas from
the Photography industry and explain the factors behind their success. So
watch out over my shoulder as I’ll define all the things clearly.
Remember it’s not that typical photography logo examples post filled up with
dozens of Logos. I have picked 9 Logos according to my opinion. And since it
is opinion, so I don’t make any guarantee that you’ll also like these Logos.
Just pick up the points that you may found different.

3. – David Davidson Landscape Photography
It’s a Logo for a landscape photography business. The graphic mark is
detailed yet simple to remember. The initials D from David, D from
Davidson and L from Landscape are visible, if you focus on it. The holo
type circle is created around the mark while light weight font is used to
mention the business name.
Key Takeaway: Never go after the traditional ways of conceptualizing
and if you’re looking to merge the specific sub industry with initial or
word mark type Logos then use the linking technique to make it visible.

4. – Laura Watts Walsh Photographer
It’s a Logo of a photographer in nature and wedding photography
category. The concept of the niche is represented with a leaf and a
knot/celebrated ribbon. It’s monogram and stamp type Logo.
Key Takeaway: If you want to create a stamp or monogram type Logo,
then place the text relatively. Any slight mistake here will break the
flow. Always use custom fonts for drawing initials inside the stamp or
monogram.

5. – Canadine Bate Wedding Photography
As you can see, it’s a Logo of wedding photography. Interestingly the
designer behind this Logo haven’t done any extra thing. He has just
stick with basics like the camera icon and ring. I’ve seen many concepts
of wedding rings and camera merged together but they aren’t
perfected like this one.
Key Takeaway: Some times simplistic approach can get better results in
your Logo. Never go after shocking colors if you’re designing a simple
graphic symbol.

6. – Photographic Society
The Logo is of photographic society that is a board or a platform for
photographers. It’s one of my all time favorite Logo because of it’s
bespeaking simplicity. The perfect execution of KISS formula can
described with this Logo. The initials P and S are superbly creating the
camera symbol.
Key Takeaway: Instead of using the camera icons or photographic
items, try to make them with combinations of initials. This will bring a
distinct and unique touch to your Logo.

7. – Slug Shot Photography
Slug Shot Photography is a nature based photography that specifically
focus on the insects and other small animals/birds photography. As you
can see that the concept of the nature niche is shown with the
caterpillar on the shutter element. Except this, there’s no other
elements used in this Logo.
Key Takeaway: Instead of using whole clip art, try to use the identical
parts of the thing you’re embedding in the main icon. Use lighter
shades of the colors combinations.
