Got rid of my big photo logo & copyright

[Nick]

I decided that having a huge logo on my images was a bit distracting, so I downgraded a bit.

I'm still not happy with how it looks though. Really struggling to find a good font and layout for it. Maybe it's sufficient? What do you guys think?

They both look good.

Who'd you take a picture of an MC-12 for? I love those cars.

[Nick]

Took it for myself. It was at the Concorso Italiano in California in 2007

looks better that way. i always thought the Logo was too big, why not just use the red NP design in a corner?

[johnny--2k]

Your pics are very creative, I think a more radical font might accent them more. Somthing with some "art" to it. The font used is a bit plain and looks out of place.

i've ALWAYS liked how this guy's font is done.

Just enough to set it out, but not too much.

That's nice. I'll have to play around some more tonight.

one of my favorite fonts in photoshop is the papyrus. It's different, subtle, and still legible when small.

[Nick]

What about this one...

I like it.

Do one a little bigger and maybe try it without the black background in the half circle. Just my $.02

[johnny--2k]

nice, but really small.

[Nick]

i'm going to just go with the web link to my site I think.

Redoing some more shit. I hate this.

i like the red logo too. maybe just make the logo smaller like the same size as your wording? idk

[Cryptic]

I'd say the small one for the majority of your photos. It's less distracting and still gives you your credit. And use the red logo'd one for when you are specifically advertising or promoting, like in your header.

my $0.02

[Nick]

Yeah, i'm just going to stick with what I have now. Leaving the logo for promotional stuff, etc.

Thanks for all the input guys.

^^ That pic is sweet ^^

What lense, setting do you use for motion shots like that? Was that angle right out the car window?

[Nick]

I think I had my 10mm lens on. I was actually hanging out of the side of an S2000 holding the cam near the ground and really close to the stang. About 25mph.

10mm focal length
f/22
1/25 sec exposure
ISO @ 200 due to Highlight Tone Priority being enabled.

not to be a smart ass....but can't you put the copyright on the back paper...i have it that way....or can't you get copyrighted paper....just a question....you know i have alot of them....i'm old...i need to stay informed...

maybe it's just me when the copyright is on the front of the photo...i think to my self...i just paid $$$$$$$$$$ and i'm going to frame this photo and i have the full copyright for all to see.....what i found to work in the OLD days...is i have my photos printed on copyrighted paper...then the bigger prints for framing i use a gold foil pen and in the corner i write my name...alot of studios do this...and it doesn't cost much...you can borrow my pen if you like and try it out...granted it's OLD SCHOOL...but i still see it being used today...
