Logo Design Brief

"New York Light & Pixels, Inc." is a Manhattan-based photography company that needs its first logo.

Dear Designers:

  
Thank you for responding to our invitation to create a logo for our photography company. Some very strong concepts have been submitted so far and we really appreciate your effort.
 
This is to let you know that we have uploaded a contact sheet of sample portraits that show a bit of our work. Please consider this extra piece of input (in addition to the Flickr page) in case it helps refine your design.  Anyone who wishes to resubmit is invited to do so.
 
Regards,
NY Light & Pixel, Inc.

Dear Designers, All:


Thank you for responding to our project  and for the time and effort you put into your designs.

We apologize for the delay in providing feedback. We were awaiting the outcome of a poll from a focus group of professionals, who voted on which of the 63 designs we received from 21 designers best represents the brand we are building. We are currently deciding between two designs as finalists (Flat Design and nandkumar, thanks!)

We are writing to all of you because there was a common thread across most of the designs that were not selected:                                                                                                                                                        
- Designs that featured the word "New York" larger than the rest; NYC gets enough attention as it is
- Designs that employed commonplace or obvious NYC imagery  (e.g. Statue of Liberty)
- Designs that employed symbols not pertinent to big city life (insects, flowers, etc)
- Those that misspelled the company name
- Graphics that were no better than what we could make ourselves, given the time required
 
Again, we thank all of you and will respond separately to each design submitted.  Good luck in future projects! 

Kind regards
NY Light and Pixels, Inc.
