New Logo, thoughts.

Well, after getting pretty fedup with my current uninspiring logo I came up with this:



Obviously the circles link the the 'lens' I did some slight tracking adjustment so the type sits right next to each other. I'm in the process of rebrand so I can hopefully sort some business cards.

thoughts?

Looks good Dan, I'd be inclined to remove one of the circles of the first one tbh

Re: New Logo, thoughts.

I like the top ones the best. Simpler and cleaner somehow with just the two circles.

Re: New Logo, thoughts.

Really love your first 2.
Its eye catching but not too distracting. Contemporary but not too faddy.
Really good work.

Not so keen on the second 2 but they still work as a logo.

Re: New Logo, thoughts.

Just a thought, instead of the circles replace it with a camera facing forward with the logo as is already.

Re: New Logo, thoughts.

Cheers for the feedback, the reason I had a second shot as people were seeing a bullseye. As for your Idea Baz, I want to try and keep it simple, almost a prompt to what the circles could be.

Re: New Logo, thoughts.

Okay, so I took you guys advice and rebuilt the logo using exact dimensions so its perfect measurement.

heres what It looks like:



I doubt that you'll notice the difference much unless your eagle eyed.
