I'm on a roll tonight and will have some new ideas soon. I don't mean to sound like some sappy ol bastard, but I can't thank you all enough for your suggestions. I'm usually bad with criticism, and honestly hadn't originally hoped that anyone would have said anything about the logo. But the feedback has been great, and it's been a lot of fun thinking through this process far more than I'd originally planned.

Idealist,
You don't think all of these are too close to that MEC logo, right? The one on the bottom is definitely something entirely different, as are the few three-triangle ones above it.
I came up with these ideas after looking at camera selector knobs and debating which landscape icon I liked more. I use Nikon so went with that but I don't think it's immediately connected to that brand any more than a mountain and a cloud would be (Canon).
I want the focus of the sites photography to be on landscape/travel/adventure images, but I'm fine with the occasional urban stuff. In that regard I do wonder if a mountain icon/logo miscommunicates anything. I do really like the bottom one though.
- I agree BUT I think you're split in to many directions with your main graphic right now. Type is tight.ideaist
- I'd say try 1 of each graphic done in a similar style; globe, flag, mountains, aperture, etc...ideaist
- ...Look at them all next to each other and bring 2 (maybe 3) forward creating variations of each...ideaist
- ...I know this feeling of being able to go in any direction; liberating but can lead to hours of endless experimenting!ideaist

I would lean towards bringing the photography aspect into it with the icon...since the text already gets the "travel" aspect across.

OK - I missed that t-shirt posted above when I replied because I was on the train. Should this matter? My logo is the reverse of that, only the orange is similar, and the small center triangle extends beyond the baseline. That shirt image is also exactly that - an image, whereas I'm trying to make mine be the logo for the site.
