“This logo was designed for Kenny Kim Photography. The two K’s converging together is obviously to portray the photographer’s initials. It also mimics what a creative director does when he tries to visualize a scene/shot by bringing their thumb and index fingers together to see how a shot will compose. The circle in the middle signifies a camera view finder and when it’s red, indicates that a shot is in focus and ready to be taken. If you look closer, the line that bisects the circle is in the shape of yin-yang. This is not because of my asian heritage but because Kenny Kim Photography embodies perfect harmony and balance – which is requires all the elements of photography to come together to capture the perfect moment.
People, poses, position, placement and the priority for each – just a few of the elements that need to harmonize to produce great photography. This logo is a symbol of Kenny’s philosophy and approach to every photo opportunity he embraces. From behind the lens, his goal is to do more than simply capture each element – but to create that perfect balance of these elements in each of the photos that will become the lasting memories of your special time.”

The logo is nice but that small symbol in the middle is a really bad idea. Can you imagine how it scales?
I agree with eydryan.
I agree with eydryan also. I do like the rest of the logo though, my initials are KK and I’ve noticed it’s a tricky combination to turn into a logo, but i think this is a very nice solution.
Thanks for your comments guys. It actually scales fine in small and big sizes – I’ve tested it. And I purposely left that part small – because I want to target my photography to clients that actually take the time to notice those kind of details – who are most likely going to appreciate the type of photography I try to achieve. Thanks for that thought though.
VERY COOL!!!!
I’ve always admired your logo Kenny
Kenny, that makes a lot of sense now, I appreciate this logo now, even more than i did before.
It flows so smoothly, especially for the letter’s ‘K’. It’s very recognizable, and memorable, I REALLY like it!
I have to say I really love this logo design, though I could be considered bias, as my own logo came from a similar school of thought being not only a designer but a photographer.
I went with styled crop symbol as well, but this was truly original as you utilized that actual letters to from the crop mark, which honestly may never have even occurred to me! So with that in mind, I definitely have to praise your creativity on this logo.
I wasn’t sold on the symbol in the center initially, but I took a look at what it would be like without it and that convinced me. Excellent work on an amazing design! Kudos.
Thanks Roberto. I’m glad you see it the same way.
will look 100 times better without the shutter idea…
the 2 k’s are very very strong on their own.
