Art & Photography LOGO/MEME needed for business branding!

Help brand this company with a unique logo and meme!!! We are revamping our website and business platform/image and need something special to show our prestige and quality. Business will be working with photography (wedding mostly, but also other forms such as family, model and stock) and traditional art (creating paintings and pencil work FROM the photographs taken)

Raimondi Art & Photography http://www.raimondiphotography.com (this is a temp site - we are completely renovating it)

We are looking for something modern and unique as a logo that can stand alone - a meme - on promo material like stickers, tags, business cards, stationary, CD labels, wrapping paper, etc.  We need the logo to convey our prestige and quality in photography and art without needing to use the company name along with the logo.  We still want our name incorporated along with the logo, but the logo must be able to stand alone and brand the company.

- Company colors will be the following purples and reds, you can see and/or download the color palette here - http://www.colourlovers.com/palette…le_Passion - We are working with 5 colors - dark purple (HEX #480870 RGB 72,8,112) med purple (HEX #61347D RGB 97,52,125) light purple (HEX #7E5E91 RGB 126,94,145) Dark red (HEX #45052E RGB 69,5,46) and light red (HEX #611C3A RGB 97,28,58)
- We are looking for something sleek, modern.  Swirly or edgy are both accepted. Must have smooth lines.
- You can use all 5 colors, but the logo must have a red and a purple incorporated in it
- Please include Raimondi Art & Photography into the logo as type.  Logo should be able to stand alone like the Nike swoosh or the Chevy symbol. Logo will be used as watermark without the company name.
- Business card layouts would be appreciated as well.
- Please don't feel limited.  Be creative!  We are 50/50 on the idea of using letters in our logo.  You can do either.  A simple something like flowery swirls or a design work fine but must convey company image and stand as a logo.
- Must convey traditional art, high end photography, quality, creativity and prestige - we like the ideas of bushstrokes, paint brushes, canvasses, photo frames (like polaroids) and other art related images to be incorporated somehow if possible, but please don't feel limited to that!
- Vector format needed along with jpeg and/or psd (However, please submit anyways as we will work with any format you have if your design is exactly what we want)
- Some logos that we have looked at (please no copying, this is just the style of what we are kind of looking for - again, these are just ideas) :

- Please no cameras and no shutter-type logos.  This must be unique and expressive.
- Nothing too pixelated.  Lines must be smooth and polished.
- Addition:  Not sure if RAP is liked.  If you want to use RAP as monogram, please don't use the A and replace it with something representing art instead of A.
- Also...please no Scriptina font.  Too many photographers use this font.
