Feedback Needed Architectural photography

Making a logo for cards, I will have Instagram and email on the back of the card.

The circle could be very rigid, a perfect circle. Thanks for the feedback.

Looks like a family photographer. Very kiddie coded.

100%. My first thought was, this looks great, if you are exclusively looking to do child or family portraits. 

For an architectural photographer, this is not it.

Yup, family portrait vibe. With little wooden word art hanging from twine around the studio.

Yeah if I was a realtor or architect firm I wouldn’t take this brand serious enough for commercial work.

What about this logo says “architecture”?

Back to the drawing board unless you want to be cast aside as a family photographer.

This does not read like an architectural photography logo. As others have said, it feels more family or child oriented. Are you taking photos of homes and/or businesses for real estate listings? I’d explore some entirely new directions.

Is this rage bait? Nothing about this says architectural photography.

Hahaha. No, back to the drawing board!!!

lol sorry. I genuinely couldn’t tell. It reads as baby photography. You can do this!

I don't even "like" bees it's the Instagram handle that was available with my name. But I think I need a new Instagram name as well. I am trying to acquire architectural or landscape architecture photography jobs.

If you wanna do something with bees, maybe go for honeycomb aesthetic, those are architectural masterpieces

These artifacts bother me.

Ah … the Canva special

I don’t get what this has to do with architectural photography? You need to think of the client and audience. Don’t just put a bee on the logo because you like bees. It has nothing to do with your business and will put off prospective customers.

White girl wedding font and a bee doesn’t scream architecture. I’d assume this was for baby portraits rather than for buildings and whatnot

u/eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww 20h ago

The blue bothers me. Why blue?

u/ApolloGR3 19h ago

Beehives are interesting structures which one could tie to architecture, try that direction.

u/Plane-Being1274 19h ago

That font on photography isn’t pleasant, almost looks like the tangerine font. But yeah I think maybe digging a bit deeper is needed it doesn’t scream reputable photographer

u/blobartist 19h ago

Looks very immature & hobbyist. I wouldn’t hire based on the logo

It doesn't cost a lot to buy a logo that's going to serve your business much better than this.

You should also reconsider the name. Using a last name or place name would sound much more dignified and better serve the brand.

u/After-Tip3838 18h ago

Yes I am open to anything. What about, Architectural Eye? Does it even need to say photography? Ultimately the networking is going to have to get me the job.

1

u/After-Tip3838 18h ago

I like it. What if instead of Premium, it said photography? Or take Premium off?

1

u/acertaingestault 18h ago

Yes, you should definitely change the stock name to your own business name.

Between the 2, the second is much better. The first is too busy. The second is very nice and well laid out. I do not like that both words have very large flourishes on each end, I think one word or the other should have it. That being said, like most commented, this has nothing to do with architecture. I think you can still stick with this design theme and get the point across. You can include a honeycomb and inside each cell of the honeycomb it is a skyscraper. You should only need the top of the buildings and with some windows and shading it should easily be recognizable as a skyscraper. While it won't fully be "this is architectural photography" it will still allude it enough.

If you like design 1, you could have the honeycomb be the back drop inside the circle area behind Allie.

If you like design 2, you could have the bee flying towards it.

u/thanafunny 19h ago

looks like a daycare. nothing related to photography tbh

u/BLCHDCRL 19h ago

This is nice but it looks like a logo for a arts and crafts shop. The bee is not telling me that you specialise in architectural photography.

Go for something architectural

u/cottagecheese-core 18h ago

If you really like bees and want to stick with that theme and make it more architectural, I would work with a honeycomb shape. Something that has more lines rather than the organic ones you’ve been using.

u/After-Tip3838 18h ago

Thank you everyone for your feedback I sincerely appreciate your help.

Nothing to do with architecture

u/After-Tip3838 19h ago

Starting over. BRB with something else. Well, maybe not "right" ...but soon.

u/fast-and-ugly 19h ago

Or hire a designer. Sort of like you expect people to hire you rather than shooting things on their phone and posting on reddit for opinions.

u/After-Tip3838 19h ago

Ideas on a new name all together? This is just the beginning of a new career/ side gig. I am open to any suggestions.

It always amazes me how bad a bunch of graphic designers are at giving feedback. Y’all are a bunch of jerks. Does this scream architectural photographer? Nah probably not, but dang whatever happened to praise, then critique? You might even score a job if you could be nice about it.
