albums,
How does something like this feel? Just a quick, rough example.
I want the overal logo/name to have something that draws a connection to an expedition (hence the triangle / flag) or photography from around the world, and that made me think of a globe, then a wireframe globe. I'm actually going to be using a mapping plugin to track locations; not that that necessarily creates a connection between the two. The globe sort of has a connection to Bureau when I think of old news organizations from the 50s, 60s.

In regards to that globe, do you plan to have paths on it maybe a summit flag? Anything other than the lat / long lines? I like ideaist's idea of the globe on the pennant. If you're going to go with the globe, I suggest a bit of an angle to match the planet, 13° or so. But I'd think you have to do something to set it apart from all the other icons like it.
I think it's too generic

- i eyeballed that one too, but didn't see how it played into your thingalbums
- I didn't mean to suggest that. Just a cool illustration. I love old stuff like that.mg33
- I feel like your globe needs mountains on italbums

I'd tie your E, B & Flag in a bit better to the weight of EXPEDITION BUREAU or vice versa; perhaps simply a lighter weight of Gotham or whatever it is brother!
Way to get something personal going; you're bringing it, not singing it!
Godspeed mg33...

Not a bad idea albums but for some reason the thought of it tilted to expose a pole makes me think too much of a expedition to the north pole.

Also, my thought earlier, on the globe, before I had time to comment, was with your type. Combined with the globe, it felt kind of amazing race-y to me, which I didn't like. I feel like you're going for something more authentic / personal and in the dirt, maybe your colors should represent that more and then the globe could feel more fitting.

Thanks Ideaist. Originally I was trying to do something that looked like an old camp pennant, such as this:
I do have flag logo image that does use the Bold version of the font, with smaller text. I've considered switching to that so might think about it a bit more.At a small size the thin weight does get a little thin.

Bump - added the post above kind of late last night.

- Move the logo higher, the top of the blue one is infuriatingly close to the mountain behind it.i_monk
- I would also make the mountain logo semi-transparent.utopian
- Ad a reflection of the logo in the lake below. Then a starburst saying "NEW!"i_monk
- the logo is too close to the text, it needs to match the line spacing of the copyalbums
