I’m in spring cleaning mode at home – organizing my basement and purging as much as I can and it’s now seeping into my business; I’m spring cleaning my website and blog. In the next few weeks, Roseville Designs’ beautiful work will be seen on my blog … just some small changes but pretty ones! I’m cleaning up the blog a lot – basically removing anything that isn’t a necessity. It’s time and I’m really excited about it.
Lately I’ve been battling to logo or not to logo my photos. I feel VERY strongly about logo-ing photos – they are my work and I feel it’s so very important to protect myself and to brand them with my logo. But lately (and maybe it’s my quest to clean up my blog and make it a lot less cluttered) it just feels that the frames and logos around my photos are everywhere and they are just so … messy. It just feels cluttered. So – I’m asking for opinions – especially from brides: to logo or not to logo? XO


















Logo.Logo. Logo. Its an elegant logo and for online, it’s appropriate. (Obviously if people are purchasing the photo, that’s another story).
Logo. First of all your logo is extremely simple yet elegant and cool all at the same time and second you absolutely need to protect your work.
I’m torn! I understand the fear of over-branding, but your logo is so clean that it lends itself well to even the most classic photo. If I have to choose I say keep it!
Brooke – I LOVE reading your blog
Especially when I know the people you feature!
As someone in marketing and someone pursing a side business in consulting in branding, marketing, websites, blogs I think you should include your logo, but perhaps as a watermark or the inverse of your black logo on photos. Keeping them frame free, but still your brand on there. If brides/moms/whomever is sharing on facebook you want your name out there too ; )
Just a thought!

Always logo you’re stuff. People can always screen shot your images and if they are watermarked they would have to go through some editing to get it removed… I try to place mine in “hard to edit” places just in case… also uploading them in non HQ is good too.. that way if they print them they’ll be fuzzy… You know all this, I’m just trying to list the pros to keeping your logo on your photos…
