Memories in Portrait

Logo Name：

Memories in Portrait

Company Intro：

The actual name of the company is "Memories in Portrait"<br><br>For a short descriptor I would say the business provides "Fine Art Portraiture"<br><br>Lengthy description:<br>Fine art portrait photography specializing in large custom canvases in an elegant frame for the wall. Capturing your memories and producing a piece of art that will be handed down generation to generation.<br><br>Custom albums of archival quality is also offered as well as small resolution social media files.

Instructions：

I need a logo that can be used on a website as well as letterhead (for invoices, contracts, model releases, etc.). I also need to use it as a gold foil stamp for the wall art and a watermark for the low resolution social media images. The watermark needs to be closer to a square or circle shape for a corner (think Olan Mills foil stamp), but the large prints, web & letterhead can be rectangular. Possibly just part of the rectangle can be pulled out for the watermark.<br><br>A lot of the logos I picked that I liked had a black background, but I don't see myself using black as my primary background color. I would like to have the ability to have light and dark backgrounds though. In the portraits, I may need to put the logo against either type of background.<br><br>It needs to be elegant and not cartoony.<br><br>I'm not sure if the initials will work; "MiP" maybe? I'm really not good at visualizing what will look good to represent my business. How would you represent a memory inside of a picture frame? That might be a stupid idea though. :D
