Logo Design Brief

Paparella Photography

I have just launched a kids and families contemporary portraiture business, based in Australia - Paparella Photography.

I specialise in fun, funky, natural light photography. I approach each photography session in a spontaneous way. I love to have fun, and I want my clients to have fun too. I love capturing spontaneous, natural moments, interactions and relationships.

My Motto: BE QUIRKY, BE CHEEKY, BE BOLD

I need a funky, fun and EYE CATCHING logo to be used for all marketing (stationery, web etc) - and will be used for all of my branding.

I want “Paparella” to have a really fun unique, really memorable text (both in colour and style. I’m leaning at the moment towards a more ‘script’ style of text, however I’m open to ideas! I'd like to have a really strong wordmark logo to watermark my photos and be a very memorable brand at the same time. I would like the word “Paparella” to be the main focus of the logo. The word “Photography” will just be used as subtext (ie – it will be used in combination with the logo, eg. underneath “Paparella” in a small, different text.)

The same text font needs to be used in the headings on the website, stationery and any promotional material.

I’d love the theme to be colourful, fun, quirky, cute, cheeky and interesting! Good bold colour palette with a white background.

I would also really love some illustration as part of the logo - an emblem or motif of some sort. (please see Purple Palate attachment, and urls in attached Creative brief word document).


Colours I love – Pink, Brown, Lime Green, Forest Green, Orange, Baby blue. I quite like the combination of hot (cerise) pink or candy pink to be quite dominant, with a support colour or colours, but I am VERY open to other ideas and colour combination.

Hi there

Thank you everybody for your time and your designs.  I really appreciate the time and effort you have put in.   I have reviewed all of the designs and sent all of you individual feedback.  Just in case you didn't receive it:

I really prefer 'script' style fonts  - bold colours on a white background.  I was wondering if you could submit any more designs that tap into the "look and feel" of the Purple Palate logo (see attached) in feel and font.... but in different colours (Pink, Grey, Brown, Lime Green, Bright Orange, Aqua etc etc).  In my head I would love a little illustration/emblem, but it may not work with your design......just a llittle something to make it more than just text!!  Not too busy though - the word "Paparella" should really be it's own logo......so it needs to be unique and memorable!!

None of the designs are exactly what I'm looking for, but I really like the inital ones by bluberri, mr.xie and rejoy john - the combination of font, illustration/embelllishment and colour they have done.

Thanks again for your time and talent!
