We need business cards as we have talked about before. The question is for what? Well, not what really but rather for which entities.

• ETN - I would like to have this as something we pass out a lot.
• LOPP - If we are going to do photographic services, we should have one for this as well

We do need a logo of some sort for each one.

For ETN, I am still leaning towards the "talking" Chickadee in some form. What are your thoughts? If we go with that, we need some help. I just am not artistic enough to do it myself. Our options are to find an artist in our community of friends or to use a logo service. Whichever we do, we should put some level of priority on this.

For LOPP, I am not sure. The obvious logo would be an eagle but in a way that is such a cliche. I did make a beautiful eagle logo once but I can't remember if it was too "busy" for us. Let me try to find it. Oh, wait. I just talked about that being such a cliche. Eagles, eagles, everywhere an eagle as a logo. That doesn't rule one out, but just a consideration. Of course, with the name Lake O' the Pines Photography, a pine tree, cone, or something pine related might be suitable. Then, too, so would a camera or a camera on a tripod - but artistic in appearance. We need some active thought and idea generation.

Here is the eagle logo I created a few years ago with the text stripped off.

Not sure it is appropriate, but . . . It is an idea.



I can't believe I made that but I did.

In east Texas an eagle and the flag is certainly not a bad thing but does it give the impression that we want? Should it be more photography related?

Did you send the one you sent the other day yet? What do you think? I liked it, but can't find it again. Will keep looking. If you haven't, we can decide. I am inclined to think like you do about it.

I haven't mailed it off yet. I need to add "Photography Training" first.

Here is the raw form.

New one - Camera Ready for the printer

And here is the one for ETN. It is okay. I have a temporary logo and when we go pro with a logo, we will just replace the cards.

And yes it is similar to LOPP. I am on a mission. . .

What do you think?
