Hey guys,
Long time no see! I've been busy with life for the last few months but now I've pulled my finger out and registered a domain (sneakyphoto.net), wired it up through the Internets to a box running Linux which I have full access to (woop!) and am now working on a design for my site. I am probably going to ignore all the things I laid down in my "here's how to do your portfolio site" guide along the way too. But before I can get on to breaking every rule in the book, I need to settle on a choice of logo. I'm leaning towards a typographic logo over an overly fancy vector drawing so all the offerings are basically text with some effects slapped on. They are by no means final but rather a "typographic study". So, Which do you prefer? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() more at http://sneakyphoto.net/typo_study/ - DAMN YOU IMAGE LIMIT!!! Also, if you have any ideas on how to improve any of them, please post them here!

I like the first one. It looks very professional. so does the third one, but I give the slight edge to the first. What is the inspiration for the name?If I name my photo hobby, I am going to call is "Icks Pics" because my name is Eric and a friend's two-year-old daughter many years ago used to call me 'Ick" instead and it became kind of a pet name my wife calls me. Just in case you wanted to know.

morts,
Number one is easiest to both look at and to read. The reflection suggests the name, too. It also seems to "have its feet on the ground."

I vote for #1.
As for #2... If the two O's weren't apparently identical, leading me to assume that perhaps, for whatever reason, someone really did create a font that looks like that, I'd wonder if it hadn't been drawn freehand with a mouse. [Yeah, yeah, I know. "Alchemist." I see that.]

I also vote for the first one. Most professional looking. (Although it is the glass mirror ting that everyone seems to be doing these days.. myself included, I'm doing it cuz I like Apple.. hehe)
