    Will you be designing holiday cards this year?

    I have the same question as Cindi…are there going to be new designs for 2010? If so, any idea on a release date?

Wedding Photography Logo | Gabrielle Marks Photography

April 27th, 2010

A bit behind on my blogging and completed designs are stacking up in my ‘to blog’ folder!

I thought I’d start with something more recently completed, a simple and elegant logo for wedding photographer Gabrielle Marks and her husband Matt. Nice, fluid hand-drawn lettering is the perfect complement to the clean and simple type.

Thanks Guys, enjoy!

Logo and Branding for Photographers | Studio 64 Photography

March 30th, 2010

Sharing a new branding package I created for LeAnn over at Studio 64. I used a fresh and modern color combination of teal and golden yellow, accented with chocolate browm. In addition to the custom logo design, which features a hand drawn leaf motif, I created a PDF pricing sheet and business card design, both which feature a pattern created with the studio’s leaf mark.

Thanks LeAnn, and enjoy!

Life’s Moments | Custom Photography Logos

March 9th, 2010

I love the simple zen feeling from this logo, I think it fits Kysa of Life’s Moments Photography just perfectly (and I can say that since I got to meet her and photograph her maternity session back in January!). I don’t normally like to do logos with more than a couple colors, but the monochromatic blues really work, and will still translate well to one color. Enjoy Kysa!

Chi Photography | Professional Photography Logo

March 8th, 2010

Sharing a whimsical yet clean logo design created for Chi Photography. Chi’s previous logo had a more complex butterfly in it that wasn’t working for her, but she wanted to keep the butterfly somehow in her logo. A silhouette worked perfectly!

Queue Update | Branding and Logo Design for Photographers

February 22nd, 2010

Here in Boston today its sunny, blue skies and warmish, and its making me very excited for Spring! I know it seems like a long way off, but I want to give a heads up for projects slated for Spring/Summer. I am currently booking for one last April project and then will be moving on to booking for May. I am very lucky to be going on trip with my family in June so I will not be booking any clients for June. So if you are thinking about a branding overhaul, contact me to reserve your project before too long! :)

Home Fires | Logo for Boudoir Photography

February 11th, 2010

When Gina contacted me and told me the name of her boudoir photography business, Home Fires Boudoir, I knew I had to work on her logo. I love creating graphics with a play on words. Gina is a military wife who just moved to Honolulu, so she knows the importance of keeping those ‘home fires’ burning when your loved one is abroad. And of course, we used Red, White and Blue!

Thank you Gina, I know you are going to rock boudoir in Hawaii!

Logo Adoptions Now Available in the Shop!

February 9th, 2010

In need of a professional looking logo but custom isn’t in the cards right now? Perhaps logo adoption is right for you!

Logos available for adoption are concepts that my identity clients decided weren’t a good match for them, and you know how the saying goes…

Our pre-designed logos are value priced at $150 and include a name change and color change. Hand drawn initial marks come as is (noted on a case by case basis). No other revisions are available. Final files delivered to you include the original .AI vector file and a layered .PSD file . Each logo design will only be sold once, so don’t delay!

Just a handful of the designs available…

Nicole Davidson | Creative Custom Logos for Photographers

January 20th, 2010

Sharing another custom logo created for Nicole Davidson Photography. I love when there is a meaning behind a graphic used in a logo, especially when the business is so personal like photography. The orchid I drew here is based off a large and beautiful tattoo that Nicole has on her. I used the blue and purple colors for the flower similar to her tattoo and then created an initial script ‘n’ for the stem.

Biskar Photography | Photographer’s Logo Design

January 19th, 2010

Been very busy designing lately and ready to share another logo created last month for Annie at Biskar Photography. Annie came to me with a color palette in mind – love the pop of yellow! Perfect for the fun and modern ‘artsy’ logo she had in mind :)

Studio Erotas | Boudoir Photography Logo

January 18th, 2010

So behind on sharing many of the fabulous new logos I’ve created! This one is for Darrin, from Studio Erotas. You might remember the logo and complete branding package I created for Darrin’s main portrait studio at the end of 2008. I love working with previous clients and was excited to create something sleek and sexy for Darrin’s new studio branch.  The silhouette of a woman was hand drawn and paired with a curvy font to complete the look!

    Taz – I am obviously biased but I LOVE your work. Each time I have come to you with design projects, you have delivered above and beyond my expectations. I am still amazed that you are able to read my mind even when giving you vague examples of the look I am trying to achieve with the studios.

    As with Darrin Wassom Photography, Studio Erotas is going to be a huge success and your logo designs and branding play a large part of that success. I am launching another branch in the fall and will definitely be in touch for that concept.
