I've got myself attached to a new project with a few other folks, and the logo design has landed in my lap. It's a promo/modeling company with an eventual clothing retail division.

"J Patric Scott Promotion and Production" The "s" are intentionally left off of Promotions and Productions.

22 tries, and this is the best of the junk I can come up with.

I welcome any feedback, and if you want to shoot me your rates for a design let's see if we can work something out.

Have you ever heard of 99designs.com? This is a website where designers and artists from around the world compete against each other for the money offered for your project. It's worth checking out, there is a ton of talent that works on this site.

BTW, your design looks pretty good to me.

Ironic that you'd mention that site, it's where I picked up the idea for the design I posted.

I actually had two others already designed with the film negative idea, but I liked the way they set the image diagonally in the link. I changed one I had already finished, and then built the one in my original post.

The use of the saturated yellow/orange in the black and white image comes from the old Sonnenschein law firm logo.

I like it, the only thing I might add would be color to the eyes and the lips.

...name to make it simpler moniker. J Patric Scott. (JPS).

When you use the negative frame motif you can have some fun with reducing your character image and enhancing the name.

Think something like the negative space images of the Bonds girls in the opening scenes of the movies. Gain back some white space in the negative frame and then play with the J Patric Scott name in the created white space.

Tough to explain visually, but may give you a completely different look and space to enhance the name of the company.

Good idea you have so far. But push for as much of an iconic look as you can with a focus on the company name and see what you come up with.

If you're going into clothing, you should try to make something that can easily transfer over to the clothes. Initials or something in a set fashion that is both in the design of the picture but is also the identifiable logo of the clothing side.

I'll give that a whirl. The original image the posterization comes from is originally black and white, but I have a series from that session that were full color as well.

I think I see where you're going with the negative space. I'll tinker with it tomorrow night a little.

This is for the umbrella corp, the photography studio, the promo/modeling company. The clothing line has its own simple logo that looks like a badge.

The bikini calender and promotions company also has its own logo. Well, technically there are two logos, one for in-state and another for national distribution. That one is also a simplified badge design.
