The Brief
Creating the Ultimate Photographer Logo Design
A yacht photographer from Portsmouth recently came to me with a brief that was simple yet challenging in its own right: design a photographer logo that really evokes the expression of yacht photography but stays professional at all times. The goal was to come up with something likely to rock the maritime industry and echo with yacht owners, sailors, and luxury lifestyle lovers everywhere.
The vision for this photographer logo design was clear: to develop a brand mark that wasn’t just great to look at but had an intrinsic connection with the yachting world and with photography. In this process, the logo needed to connote the freedom and grace of the open sea, yet would be legible and recognizable on all formats, from digital to print.
Here is how it all came together:
- Nautical Imagery: A stylised sailboat makes up the centre of the logo, symbolising the client’s work in yacht photography. The image is not just any boat; it is an icon of sophistication and fun in yachting. It shows the motion and sleek lines of a yacht under sail and reflects the dynamism and precision of the photographer’s work.
- Lens-Inspired Round Design: The circle design was purposefully done to resemble a camera lens, directly connecting it to the photography aspect of the brand. Furthermore, the concentric circles bursting from the sailboat are representative of the big view which the photographer takes a picture of: wide, panoramic, full of depth.
- Deep Navy Colour Palette: Rich navy blue has been used with intent, gazing deep into the ocean and pulling out the brand’s trustworthiness. This colour choice is both sophistication and versatility, ensuring the logo stands out whether it’s displayed online, in print, or even on merchandise.
- Bold and readable typography: The type around the mark is typeset in a bold sans serif font to make the named brand immediately recognizable and memorable. The simplicity of the font choice balances out the highly illustrated sailboat to create a cohesive design.
