Brief de Design de Logo
I'm rebranding my photography website using the new www.pagelines.com Platform Pro framework. The website itself is gaining traction and I'll be pushing a new webisode feature in the coming months.
The website can be viewed here: www.michaelmiles.com
I'm looking to replace the 'logo' in the upper right hand corner.
With that in mind, I need a new logo/brand identity that revolves around photography. In the past, I had simply used my name: Michael Miles Photography.
Moving forward, I'd like to have a logo to utilize on the website and as a water mark on photos and videos.
I'm not filling in Logo Text or Choosing a Logo Style as I don't want to constrict anyone's creative style. I'm open to all forms.
Updates
Answering a question here about what photography equipment I use. In general terms I'm all 35mm. Specifically I use canon with L glass, but that only matter to other photographers ;)
Not large format/landscape at all. All people photography, special events photography that involves people, cars, biking, sports, speaches....
I don't do weddings.
I don't do babies. Unless it is my own....

Please note that I had one designer dump on my 150 designs of which all of them had nothing to do with photography. Please do not become discouraged at the high number of submissions to this project, I'd still like to see more fresh ideas! Thanks!

I think it would be helpful to see where this branding would be placed, sorry I didn't include my url in the original brief:

Marché(s) Cible(s)
My base market consists of housewives aged 30+. They are new to photography. That is my core business. I need an image that conveys professionalism but also modern in style.

Exigences
Doit avoir
- I'm looking for more of a duo-tone, shades of gray or b&w type of logo. I don't plan on having a color palette to manage.
Bien d'avoir
- Abstract images of photography such as shutter blades, f-stops or the like, but that is just my limited mind. I'm using this service to get me away from me. I'm looking for fresh ideas....
Ne doit pas comporter
- I don't want outright images of a camera or a person taking a photo. My name would be fine being used, but I don't want a script signature style of my name. Aka, the logo be just my name. 95% of all photographers use their signature or a photo of them taking a photo...BLAH!
