Luminary Photography: One step at a time

It has been almost a week since we said we thought of a name. After a few days, trying to work out our name and asking different point of views, we finally came up with it. Before we say the name, we share how we came around to it too!

So as we said in our previous post, we thought of the name Night Sky's Glow. We thought it sounded pretty and nice, however from a third perspective it's long and hard to say which resulted in us thinking that it sounded a bit childish too. Outcome of it: It stays as our blog title name and the previous name becomes our slogan "one photograph, one thousand memories". To recap, the name originated from the meanings of our name Luna and Marie, moon and stars of the sea. Moon and stars have the similarity of being in the sky, also the universe, and also shine or glow.

Alrightio, onto our name, so the person I asked about our name gave a suggest of Lunamarie Photography and instantly I thought Luminary. It seems so that we have come to that before but brushed it off. Luminary means "a celestial body that gives light" or "an inspiration to others" which was nice and decent. Luna drew a diagram of the transition of LUNAMARIE to LUMINARY.

So, we planned everything, trying to find a friend who has a drawing tablet, wondering what symbols to use to represent our name. I tried to do some hand drawings when I had spare time.

It's very simple however it looked childish. Once we had borrowed the tablet, it took us so long to install the tablet in and when it came to drawing, it was too hard! The result of it:

So yeah...the result of it, we just scraped it. We decided to use a font in our watermark instead, so we went through many fonts, mainly cursive. Here are some examples of the fonts that we had in mind:

We finally came down to a font that we both like. We agreed to have the "L" and "M" in luminary in a different colour as it is the first letter of our names. Here is a preview of the logo used in photos that we took on the day of Yaeun's shoot (You will see a post on this project fairly soon).
