Congratulations to the winners!

We chose 20 photography logos from the Fstoppers community and critiqued them. Judge for yourself if you think the quality of the logos matched the photos.

Lee Morris and Mike Kelley have had a long standing discussion that the quality of a photographers logo gives them a good idea of the quality of the photographers work. While this theory didn't hold perfectly true, this video gives some great insight into the branding that photographers choose and some suggestions for improvement. 

Congratulations to Liza Rock for submitting the highest rated community image and to Frankie James for being the randomly selected entrant to win a free Fstoppers original tutorial. We will be in touch with both of you through your Fstoppers profiles to claim your prize. 

If you missed the entry deadline for this episode, join us in our next Critique the Community where we'll be selecting 20 community images of macro photography. 

Rules & Prizes

Lee Morris and Mike Kelley believe they can predict the quality of your photos by the quality of your logo. We want to test that theory. 

This episode will offer a fresh angle to Critique the Community. While it's common for photographers to put their images out for critique, it's rarer to get feedback on your branding and marketing. Lee and Mike want to rate your logos alongside your photos. It's their belief that photographers with highly rated images will have a high quality logo on it. In contrast, they expect photographers with lowly rated images to have poor logos.

If you want to participate and have your logo critiqued, upload your favorite photo with your logo somewhere on the image. When we film the video, Lee and Mike will see the logo before they see your image but they will a rating to give both and then compare the results. 

Whether you're uploading your image or not, we want to hear your thoughts on the best logo/photo combination. It's easy to quickly scroll through and rate the images by using your arrow and number keys. If if you see an image and logo that are both high quality, rate them that way. If one is poor and the other is great, give the submission a mid-range rating. 

Of the submissions, the highest rated photo/logo combination will win a free Fstoppers tutorial. We will also pick one entrant at random and give away a second tutorial.

I completely agree with Mike about not putting the photography and soon I will remove from my website.

That's a great idea! I look forward to seeing your assessment of both the logos and the images.

I was hoping you'd do this. I'm still in the initial start up phase and have yet to design a logo.

Hey just because your favorite movie is back to the future doesn't mean she can't be a scientist 😂
