Logo Photos - ready for editing and cropping


This photo alike all of the below were taken to form the base of my logo for my newspaper. I aim to crop around the outside of the angel and instead use almost a silhouette of the image as part of my striking logo. Here, I like the way in which the arms spread out and convey an open and welcoming image to the reader.


This photo is similar to the one above and is possibly closer to my finished article, in terms of my logo as you cannot see so much detail on the material and shape of the angel itself. However this photo also highlights some grey areas in terms of minute gaps of the body which would have to be filled in order to be part of my logo.

Different angle, same image. Striking pose makes it viable for Element logo

Long shot, the shape retains class and stature, which I want my paper and brand to suggest

I zoomed in heavily on this photo and this couldn't really help me in my publication unless it appeared at the bottom or top of the page near page numbers or something similar. A possibility to use, but only as influence as a logo.

Unity, is what this image portrays to me and I actually like the detail and colour here. The extended arms are something that could be used to fade the image and retain focus on the body should it be kept as a logo.

A really engaging shot that I can play with to see if it could work as a logo or if not in some capacity as my brand. On my poster it's a possibility if using Photoshop I could edit it to perhaps grayscale the figures but perhaps give one a splash of colour in-keeping with my house style and modern appearance.

Bad photo, further influence for logo though

You can see the diversity this image portrays alone and this sort of zoom really allows the angel to dominate which it may or not do as part of the Element brand. Not every newspaper logo is known as a logo? Ie examples such as the Sun which are more about the brand.

Same style shot, unity and individuality together as one

Wonky shot, not viable for logo, although perhaps could match quirky Element style.

Broad and dominant, would work acutely as a logo

After cropping this could work wonders. Perhaps with two different coloured angels holding hands as they are could bring the Element as a paper and a brand to life. Real substance


I took all of these photos of public art in Portishead in order to ensure I had the right shots to be able to have my logo for my local newspaper, 'the Element'. The images will have to be cropped in order to stand alone as the current pixelated image does on my front cover. I have thought about multiple layers of the same image or similar angles to create a really striking image for perhaps my cover or even just to impact on my poster. 

Images such as the one directly above could also be used to reflect unity whilst symbolising the local area as a logo and as part of my brand.
