Planning: Artist image:Logo and Name

As a group, we've come up with the name: 'The Taboo' for our band. This is because it's memorable, catchy and fits in with our narrative theme. We are going to design a logo for our band, and post it on here. We will have a go at designing several different logos and then we'll decide which we think is the best for our band. We will keep in mind the things that we learnt from our research and make sure we design something that is simple yet colourful and eyecatching. Once we have done a rough copy, we will then use Photoshop to make it look more professional and give it a better quality.


Below, we have started to think about what fonts we can use for our bands name. We intend to include this logo on the digipak but also in the music video (in the background) so it is crucial that we feel the logo reflects the image we want our band to portray. The genre of the band is indie-pop and we have decided that we want the logo to have quite a fun and retro image to it, this is because a lot of the clothing and styles within the indie-pop genre are quite retro/quirky/different. We have looked at various fonts (below) and we will ask for people's opinions on which font they think works the best and which they like the most. We'll post the results on here once we have them.

   

We asked our target audience on which font they thought was best for our band logo. The results showed that the first font was the most popular, so we have listened to our audience and have decided to use this font. 

 Now that we have decided on our final choice of font, we have designed a few different ideas for our final logo and, again, asked our target audience which they thought was the best.

After testing our logos with our audience, the feedback was that the most popular design was the first design. So this is our final logo. We think it works well both with the fact that our band is a fun, indie-pop band and the colours reflect this- we haven't used overly bright, typical pop colours. There's a mixture of dark and light colours which represent both parts of the genre (indie and pop). The logo is very recognisable, especially as it includes a fox which instantly associates the logo with the music video. Also, the border around our fox/band name looks like a guitar pick which fits into our indie-pop genre, as one of the main instruments in an indie-pop band is a guitar.
