I have played around a bit with a font called Suede that I like (http://www.dafont.com/suede.font) - but please don't restrict your designs to this. It should give you an idea of the general style I have in mind. I quite like the "flickr blue" colour which I think conveys some of the attributes above. Again, this is guidance though - do your own thing.

Please avoid obvious icons like cameras, photos etc. This needs to be edgy.

    @Deshwal Not to be mean but you just copied my design completely. #142 the skyline is exactly the same as mine. That's not ethical. Regards, Studio10.

    Keep them coming guys, in general I prefer the non-filled city sky line - just the plain line is fine. My feeling is the line should be the same colour as the word Photo. Let's get some good colour combinations coming now, I want to see loads of different combos.

    @gemadha #72 very nice gemadha, can you remove the TM and try in some different colour combinations, would be good to see an iteration with the Suede font. Can you confirm to me via personal message that the skyline image is royalty free?

    @studio10 #58 now winning, nice tidy up of mine. I think you need a little more breathing space between the line and the text plus lets deveop that further with some different text colour schemes - non flickr.

    For my own take on the city skyline, check the file I uploaded. I'm sure you can do better, this is the sort of thing I am after.

    @cutecindy #56 - good skyline - though still not sure this is a London skyline - seems generic. As per previous comment, the skyline would look much better as a single black line - i.e. no black fill. Also please uncapitalise the leading letters.

    @studio10 - on the skyline again, I think a single line would look better than the current "filled" black option - thereby preserving the white background.

    Good job on the Skyline @studio10 - would prefer an actual London skyline rather than generic and can you make it above the text only, not below (yours is mirrored I think)

    Some feedback I provided via private message to one of you - copied here: In general, all of the logos there are present are not edgy/funky enough. If I was to give you some direction, I would say that these are a bit "corporate" - this brand needs to funkier and more differentiated. Some ideas on doing this: 1 - use a distressed frame and a background colour 2 - add some texture underneath the text - city themed - black and white photo of some bricks, rainy streets, etc 3 - try the skyline idea that I mention in the comments that nobody has done yet - e.g. http://www.clker.com/cliparts/3/4/a/7/11970910131162109456rgesthuizen_City_skyline.svg.med.png

    @cutecindy - getting better, but don't like the font. the abstract icon is better though. Anyone going to attempt the skyline idea for me?

    @EJDesign drop the 's' of the end of photos - square mile photo is the name

    @studio10 keep the colour schemes coming - think 'edgy' Also, I've uploaded one I came up with myself a while back - might provide some further inspiration. @gedma #27 your best yet. Can someone try the skyline idea I mentioned in a previous comment?

    Good effort so far everyone. I would say @Studio10 and @gemadha are leading the charge so far - why? I like the fonts used - @gemadha's colours look great and I actually think I prefer the font that gemadha has used too. @echoplex #3 and #1 this is worth developing, I think the text may need to be proportionally larger. Prefer the font in #3 Perhaps you could develop the matrix so that it somehow resembles the skyline. Just an idea. Another idea - a simple horizontal line of the London skyline with the text worked in underneath - would be interesting to see? Keep them coming, message me if you would like some further feedback

    One other thing I missed from the brief - lower case letters please on the business name.
