Updated from last post, again C&C always welcome
I did 2 versions 1 with black and 1 with white so u'll have idea how it'll look on black and white (thanx to Sam Hassas for the idea)
I voted for number one. The block with the (passionsconflict?) E in it will make a great shortened logo and wonderful branding on bags and boxes and anything else. I love the simplicity of the words "emotive studio" and believe it's a good juxtaposition to the cursive E.
I don't like the gray 3 at all... it has a dated look to it.
I don't like the blocks getting bigger and smaller... it plays with my perception too much to feel balanced.
Non of the above. Sorry. I do think one is the best but it still looks like the result of a reasonably competent person who is not actually a trained graphic artist.
Close but no cigar.
I would pay for the services of a graphic designer who has a body of work you love. Like wedding photography it's a lifetime investment.
Not too fond of any, but #2 without the gray E (or #1 without the top part). This really depends on who your market is, but since you posted it in the Wedding Forum, this does not convey anything photographic to me. To me it's more of a graphic artist / sound technician type logo.

yes mostly weddings, hmm and word studio i think cover the photography part doesn't it or any other suggestion if you have please. thanx
I don't think a logo has to portray what you offer... it just has to showcase your style. The first logo tells me that you're contemporary, with a bit of elegance.

I guess the word "studio" could cover the photography part, but to me, if I picked up a business card that had this logo on it, nothing would say photography unless it was on there. Sure, you have a studio. So do yoga, pilates, health trainers, graphic artists, painters, recording artists, dancers, software development, web hosting, etc. Studio doesn't say anything about photography.
It doesn't need to portray what you offer, but if I don't know what type of industry or business you are, it can get confusing. If I'm comparing services with a bunch of business cards I have, and I can't find what I'm looking for, I move on.
there's one thing i have to say, that..... this forum is really amazing, and to all the pro FM'ers thank you for all of your honest opinions, it really helped me in past and I am sure it'll help me in future also thank you again.
Do yourself a favor and hire a pro. I don't mean just someone charging money either.
Graphic design is like photography in that anyone with a computer and illustrator or indesign is now in business.
Photographers are the worst culprits. There is a huge difference between a professional and someone just holding the tools.
Do some homework, get a great graphic artist and ultimately you will do yourself a huge favor.
Getting the best result is only a choice.
If I had to pick one, I would say 1 or 3 because I really don't like the gray E. Honestly they all scream 90's to me. I am trying to design a logo right now too and I'm not having much luck with it either.
I think you could do a tiny line of font under the studio name and say something like "wedding • children • family • seniors" (or whatever you offer) so that the studio is read as photography.

I couldn't agree more with these comments. I intially saw "pharmacy" when I saw these. The colours font, wording etc.
I voted for #1, but only because I had to choose.
*edit* I just noticed the "none of the above" option I would of chosen that.
or any other suggestion if you have please. thanx
