or even have a logo beyond their name written in some fancy font. \u00a0But a logo is like any other form of style announcement &#8211; it&#8217;s you wrapped up in a clever image or word. \u00a0Even with all that knowledge, I&#8217;ve always struggled with what that logo would be for me. \u00a0Perhaps that says something about knowing who I am or what I want to be when I grow up. \u00a0I know, all very deep. \u00a0I struggled with what font, what colors, why a logo, how complex, needs to reproduce easily, etc, etc. \u00a0I have Corel files (yes, when Corel was more popular than Illustrator) that have endless versions of the same logo as it morphs from one logo down the page to a completely different one. \u00a0There was never a satisfactory solution. \u00a0It always ended the same way. \u00a0&#8220;This one is decent and I&#8217;m tired of looking at this&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I ran with this logo and font for several years. \u00a0Various\u00a0versions of it took shape depending on my needs at the time. \u00a0The dotted version was added to the cover of my photo portfolio and is still there today.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-556 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/front1.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"86\" src=\"https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/front1-300x86.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/front1-300x86.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/front1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/logos16b.jpg'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/logos16b-300x211.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/logos16b-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/logos16b.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>This logo came late in 2004 and ultimately replaced the previous logo. \u00a0I had everything I needed. \u00a0Graphically interesting layout, colors, and my initials to seal the deal. \u00a0It was used on my most recent promotional card as a partial background.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-556 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/logo-f1.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/logo-f1-189x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/logo-f1-189x300.jpg 189w, https:\/\/visualrealms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/logo-f1.jpg 377w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having any sort of graphic ability, like any art form, can be both a blessing and a curse. \u00a0One item I&#8217;ve struggled with over the years is the design of my personal logo. \u00a0What I&#8217;ve found is most people in the photographic business don&#8217;t care what their logo looks like&#8230;
