Band Logos

[musicthom]

I tend to think that in this world of image a good band logo is got to be important so guys lets see em heres mine

Yes, logo's important. It's the "cultural shorthand" by which people are going to recognize you. The more visual our society becomes (and we have become awfully visual, in my opinion), the more important the logo becomes.

You do not have to have a professional do it (however, professionals need to eat, too). Mine was done by my teenaged daughter. I don't know if I can paste it in here or not. Basic rule (I used to be in the graphic design business, by the way) is it should be eye-catching, distinctive, be able (within reason) to be able to be reproduced small or large, and convey enough about what you do to allow people to automatically think of you when they see it. That's all.

I use my logo on everything. It's on my business cards, music letterhead, promotional posters, and so on. It's the "promo photo" on my Soundclick page, too.

Last consideration. Put some thought into it. AT&T probably would not have picked the Death Star (from Star Wars) as their logo if somebody had had their head screwed on properly. Now, it's too late.

[Alistair]

You have two eyes, don't you?

(Actually, I can't manage the attachments properly!)
