this is the logo i voted for!!
phew…I’m definitely worried how many who voted might be disappointed. Glad to see you know me well enough to know that that logo definitely matches me better! :o)

well im glad you update us with everything and anyone who feels my sister is sharing too much can jump off acliff! i love you guys still praying for ya too!
ditto to that, joleen. transparency is very helpful at times like these for those of us that care and worry. it takes a great deal of courage to share and be so open with issues so traumatic and personal. dr. volker gallichio says hang in there and make sure you get some rest amanda!
thanks guys. It’s definitely been tough to rest this mind of mine until more time passes. That said on just 2 1/2 hours of sleep between being in discomfort still from the effects of surgery and just having my mind unsettled about all the recent news. :o( They say pain is weakness leaving the body…so give me a bit more time and I’ll seriously be tough as nails guys. I don’t see how I can have much more weakness inside me after all I’ve been through these last few weeks.
I’m excited to finally share the preliminary concepts for the logo for my photography business. Though I’m also a designer myself, I elected to step back from the design process to give one of my former students, award-winning designer, Daissy Linares, an opportunity to come up with a few concepts that would represent me and […]

I like concept #1 for its simplicity and fun nature, however concept #4 feels better with the style of photography you specialize in. Its a bit more mature. Careful with concept #3, its easily mistaken for someone flipping the bird. (No offense duende)
Out of the choices 4th looks the most appropriate. Number 1 looks the strongest for a logo overall but it doesnt really speak photography.
Honestly I enjoy the logo you currently have for your header though its a bit played out with the signature mark. It’s classy and speaks photography.
I would enjoy seeing concept 4 further expanded possibly having the logo mark towards the left and the right using ur name and photography. Showing it more of a horizontal fashion would fit best on your website header.
Can’t wait to see the overall outcome

What r you talking about Steve? That would be great if everyone mistook that for flipping the bird, cuz then Amanda can say its playful reference to the old photography term used for getting children to smile in photos: “Smile for the Birdie”
Actually, I feel that Steve makes a good point. Concept #1 lends itself too much to one style or age. Be weary of that if you are trying to avoid it. Concept one is very young, and although you shoot a great deal of newborn photography who knows how the logo will interpreted by the parents seeking the photographer.
Concept #5 is very mature and very refined and still very unique, but could be mistaken for a misregistration issue when being printed. But i absolutely love the type treatment. I would buy that t-shirt when it gets printed.
Overall, I like concept #4. It is very iconic, and even very conceptual. The pre bloom flower bud relates to your target subjects. It also feels like the flower is the subject of a photo itself, and its being photographed in the bottom right quadrant of the frame.
That’s just my opinion. Take it with a grain a salt.
that was fun! thanks for letting us vote!
Steve I bet that #3 might win awards because of what you noticed. :o)
Very interesting vote results thus far.
oh! and sorry amanda i can’t resist: concepts 1 – 3 remind me of the ameriking project we had in advanced 2 years ago.
Your name – all by itself- carries so much weight, so much integrity and reputation. I feel like the everything else takes away from that. That’s why I voted Concept #5. Even tho that’s too swirly for my taste. Just sayin’.
ohhh looks like i picked the one majority has picked. i really feel like #4 is more amanda’s style. and its got a clean modern feel… and the concept is more suitable for photography. good job though, theyre all great concepts!
I liked #4 I fits your personality better, nice and soft. Like all the baby photos I see you post
#4 for me. Looks enough but not quite like a lens diaphragm. Decisions… decisions
Hey Amanda. Hope everything is going well with you.
I’m going with #5. I like the simplicity of #1 but there is a bit of awkward negative space in the a, that bugs me a little, #2 leaves me unsure if thats a flame at the terminal of the k or some type of bloom. #3 reminds me of the too prevalent leafy sprouty trend that’s been going around. I think #4 and #5 are both very classic and say photography. The illustration in #4 is very tactile and has a great line quality to it. However #5 wins for me because the typography is beautiful, its got a great flow to it and both clean and sophisticated. A classy logo for a classy lady.
First of all, who is that beautiful baby when you first come to the site? Father must have some rockin guns ;^) Anyway. Good eye Steve (as always). As one who’s been through the Amanda Kern Photography experience, the fifth concept feels right. I think it compliments the style well. When I first saw the edited photos of Abigail, my thoughts were set in the type face used for #5.
Ah! also #4 reminds me of Hallmark.
woo! concept 4 is in the lead, it’s the one that makes you stop and look, that’s the goal! 
Hola! Love them all.. everyone makes good points, but I think has skipped over this statement in your explanation:
“During the design process we discussed the importance of the versatility of my logo to represent not just my photography, but other endeavors I am equally involved in such as education and design.”
1&2 do have a younger edge to them, so in having to vote for only one I skipped them.
4 is very, very nice… but it’s too classy and refined for someone who is working so hard and wants to make their mark. Number 4 speaks ‘photography’ yes… but you may lose the versatility you’re looking for and blend in with the hundreds of other photographers out there.
5 is a close second in my choice and I would love to see it stay as is or be explored a little more. It’s elegant, slightly feminine and has a solid polished feel. This logo would say ‘established professional’ the second it’s implemented.
3 wins my vote for being fresh and refined at the same time. It can be flexible while staying a little edgy. It’s the most transitional to a graphical icon without dropping your initials because the initials are the graphic. It will also double as a great watermark. It makes a great die cut in multiple situations. Both Steve and Hachem’s woes can be avoided with small tweaks. The sans-serif style feels up with the times and we all know how you strive to be current and up-to-date. I could go on, but that’s the just of it. Good Luck!!
ps.. I organized my whole comment into nice clear lines with breaks and once submitted it eliminated all the breaks 
Sorry Kenny…I sure hope to look into the comment formatting of my blog soon, this blog is still rather “new”. And I am very intrigued by the outcome of this survey. Though I certainly like #4 it definitely was NOT the one I had considered as my top two choices. And Ed, you crack me up…glad to hear that beautiful 9lb baby of yours let you show off those guns!!! :o)
Amanda, they are all GREAT!!! I personally like one best because it just looks professional, but I agree that number four fits your personality best!! Love and miss you all even if I am in Korea!!!
They all great but I feel that #1 and #2 is a little much to the edgy side and doesn’t necessarily relate to your photography, although it does speak design, not sure what to make out of what is over the k in #2. #3 does have potential, but the type for the initials is little too bold. Although #5 choice of typography is great, sophisticated, I think that this type of logo is very common and somewhat played out.
To help on my decision, I kept in mind about your target audience as well. I know you do a lot of newborn, therefore most people who seek for your photography services would be parents. With that in mind, I chose #4 because I feel that it represents you and your photography best. The classiness and elegance reflects your photography. The clean and solid design reflects your personality and as a designer. I especially like the flower/rose inside the box, because it acts like a photo. It has this delicate yet professional look to it. To me this logo says, professional photographer-designer who is attentive to details captures life’s delicate beauty.
Number #4 really??? I’m still very surprised by everyone’s opinions.
Concept #4 also slightly resembles an iris of a camera.
#4 (among other things) looks like a polaroid with a photo of a wrapped up baby in it. lol!
I love all of them but specially Numero 4 because it represent a more classic and simplistic style just as your photography. I would suggest working a bit more on the word photography and the dots, I’m not really into the dots. But you can probably make them even smaller and separate them a bit more. awesome work!
Very nice concepts. I’m really going for number 4. It looks like the shutter from a camera, I really like that one
Number 4, Number 4, Number 4!!!
My logo must represent me as a person…not just as a photographer…remember this should represent me as a designer, educator, etc. – not just photography. So as much as I love everyone’s visual cues with #4 relating to photos and babies…that’s not the only thing I do. I’m still very shocked at the results thus far…
I think #5 reflects more what you are, it is clean, slick, detail oriented and sophisticated, also is a reflection of the elegance of your photography. My 2 cents.
Amanda,
I love your blog. As for the designs, I was torn between 1 & 3. I finally chose 1 because it is crisp and clear in presenting you. I thought 3 was a little more feminine but I went with the clarity of 1. I really liked 4 also…and 5. Obviously, you can’t go wrong. They are wonderful designs. Congrats on your new business. Hope you had a nice birthday and anniversary. Much love to you, hon.
Connie
I’m a little crossed between #1 & 5. I like #1 for the bubbly and fun style, but it doesn’t say photography to me. #5 I like for its simplicity and it’s elegance, but I’m not feeling the drop shadow effect. But with that being said, but feel more complete to me than any of the others
I love the simple design of the first concept, but love concept 4 for the imagery.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your
site? Its very well written; I love what youve
got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the
way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having
1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
