5

and the colors in the mock ups are fairly arbitrary....but I am looking to keep things in the same vivid tone

5 is nice. But the colours are horrible. Vivid is fine, yuk is not so fine.

number 4 already exists! almost the exact same shade of colour as well!! forgot what tho.
but the aperture symbol has been used LOTS for photo-related companies..

go with 1 but change the colors, and maybe see if you could add another element...

no.3 looks familiar too. It's an over used idea I guess.

picasa'a logo actually makes a house insdie, which is pretty cool...

i say go talk with your client a bit more and figure out how he is different or better or his unique selling point or something. and try again. it's not distinct enough.

The top half of nuber 5 kind of looks like a sun setting, which is a pretty synonmous with the west coast.
Just trying to nudge you in other directions if you wanted to stay with the aperature

What vb and K77 said.
I would start afresh to be honest. this concept is very standard and has no real angle on it. Why should people use this guy over anyone else?
Also I would work on the logotype together with your mark. How do they relate, what compliments what.
And perhaps work in B+W to start with, colour detracts from the concept.
Sorry but this is just my opinion

thanks to all.
yeah, I figured I would get the "it looks just like..." posts. It is a kind of obvious graphic for photo. I will keep at it.
thanks again for the comments
