I cant seem to find a fitting font for this logo I am making. The basis of the logo is a camera build up from the letters Wing. Left top I kind feel the most for it but somehow when the size of the logo is bigger feel it not correct somehow or feels cheap.

Right tops are canon like font I made myself cause he is a canon camera user. Rest are just trying. Wanted to have a bit of high class but can't seem to find a good serif font for it.

Do you want a serif font? I would stick with sans serif. I think they will work better with your graphic.

I would suggestion you try Futura. The letters have a roundness to them that will mimic the roundness of the camera lens. But there are also sharp edges to some of the letters that will match some of the detail in your graphic.

Futura for me it bit too standard and mostly not use it as a main font but at a sub for slogans it works better. I had to a bit of stroke to make it get more equal weight but in full caps it works but feel to simple not really classy.

Nah that looks too straight and not really round, havent got much script fonts. Think script type might have the flow but havent seen one that isnt too much of as script think need to between a script and a serif just not sure which.

I like the two on the right hand side. They do echo the conon font but I think it works well for this brand. Between the two, I would choose the top right corner. The italics of the letters looks nice to me.

I agree with davidjgries. Out of the nine that you have submitted for our review, I like the overall look of the top right image. However, I think you may need to have this font a little more legible from a distance, The "liu" seems to blur a little as the letters are so close...maybe add a little more spacing.

I do like this one you suggested, however I think the "W" stands out more, and reminds you better of the customers name, and not just the image.

Carbon block is to bold, not sure why but normally this style of logo Trajan Pro works as I have made allot of logo's with this style but somehow this one it wont look good with allot of fonts.

Sorry about Carbonblock. But i think Trajan is overused.
Maybe Benguiat?

I really like maxsons post but I feel that the logo itself needs a more rounded font. :?

I think I need to change the name placement maybe that is major factor that most fonts wont work.
