DJ logo or professional photographs?
DJ logo or professional photographs? Posted on: 10.07.2012 by Kassandra Guthmiller As you can see in my avatar, there is a wonderfully designed DJ logo that took me a gruelling 2 minutes in microsoft paint More seriously though, this is just a temporary measure until I get something more professional sorted out, I figured even a basic logo is better for soundcloud etc than no picture at all. The question I want to ask though is probably subjective, but I would like some input anyway: What, in you opinion, looks better: a logo with your DJ name or a professionally taken photogrpah? I don't DJ in any clubs at the moment, else I'd just use a photo from a gig. I was leaning more towards a logo as it would be more identifiable and you could also use it for posters | |

| Latina Samon 12.07.2012 | I know IGR Photo in Leeds is quality. Have a look at his Facebook Page. You won't get bad photos but I've no idea of the cost. Getting in touch with photography students in Liverpool might be a good idea though. |
| Shonda Soulier 12.07.2012 | Also video. A lot of those nice digital cameras take excellent video. If you got somebody to shoot some photos, see if they'll record enough to put together a :60 clip for promos. Logos/graphics are no sweat--I'd check out fiverr.com to get a logo. If it's garbage, you only spent $5. Most of that stuff is good though. |

| Ardell Lafranchi 12.07.2012 | have someone with a digital camera take a couple random snap shots of you doing you thing is u dont look natural in your pics they wont be near as impressive |
| Efrain Scharr 12.07.2012 | Get photos! Post up on facebook asking for recommendations, or talk to other DJs in your area that have them. Or if you have a local arts college you could check there, they usually have that stuff listed, and it would also be at a discounted price most likely. |
| Kassandra Guthmiller 12.07.2012 | OK thanks everyone. Will any professional photographer be good? The only reason I'm saying that is because when you search for 'professional photographer liverpool' in google it comes up with pages of photographer's websites; as someone who doesn't know much about photography I don't want to get shafted. Anyone from Liverpool or Merseyside have any experience? |

| Latina Samon 10.07.2012 | Seems like overkill. DJ's don't need logos in my opinion. They make a name for themselves and thats what is recognised at the end of the day. Some of the top DJ's have them but I can't see why most would need one. |
| Celine Surico 10.07.2012 | Both are good. But there are plenty of DJs with no logos and plenty of gigs such as Sasha and Digweed. |
| Yong Aptekar 10.07.2012 | I would say photographs. A logo is good in the sense that brand recognition is huge, but you are a DJ, face recognition (imo) is better. You get behind the decks, and people see your face. |
