The Problem and Solutions

Case Study: Logo Redesign for Equestrian Photographer

The Problems (Before)

When I first spoke to the equestrian photographer, Siobhan, I could tell that she had a real passion for capturing the beauty and grace of both horses and riders. As a rider herself, her images are unique with a lovely balance of traditional action shots and wonderful candid shots.

However, when she showed me her logo, it was clear that it wasn't doing her work justice. The logo was something that she had designed herself, and while the principle of the design was okay, it just didn't look professional or artistic enough to truly represent the quality of her work.

What's more, the business name "TCSM Photography" was difficult to remember and not easily identifiable by potential clients. We knew that it would be a challenge to create a logo that truly reflected her expertise and the quality of her work while also creating a memorable brand identity that could grow with her business.

The Solution (After)

To address the first problem, we elevated the design to reflect the photographer's expertise and capture the beauty of her images. We used her own riding images as reference images to create the three horses’ and create the core design. Each of the three horses represents different disciplines, demonstrating that she will photograph any equestrian sport. It also ties back to her chosen competitive sport of Eventing, which is three phases, much like a triathlon.

To make the design more personal and really connect with her target audience, we added four striped colour blocks in the shape of a circle into the background of the design. This element of the design holds a multitude of meanings. The colours are shades of blue that are taken directly from the photographer's personal 'cross country colours'. The colours and shapes are also linked back to the sunsets and blues of the ocean, which are famous in the primary region where she photographs, Perth, Western Australia.

To address the second problem, we strategised on a new business name that felt connected to the photographer, memorable to her current and future clients, and one that could grow with the business. She ultimately decided on TinCan Imagery, with the tagline Photography by Siobhan.

The result is a beautiful and memorable logo design that reflects the photographer's expertise and captures the essence of her work. The new business name and tagline also help to establish her brand identity, build trust with potential clients, and expand her business beyond equestrian photography.

I cannot recommend Augusta enough! Her thoroughness in her job is second to none and she really listens and takes everything on board!
