02.Mar.2010 The Band Logo

As usual, I get ahead of myself when the construction of a band begins and I get all stoked about designing a logo. I always told them that we were lucky to have a graphic designer who is in the band. We don’t gotta pay anyone, and more importantly, we don’t have to explain to someone outside of the perspective what it is we want to visually represent us.

This potential poster design I threw together is from an aerial photograph I took, and tweaked in Illustrator. To be more specific, I layered individual Live-Traced versions and then just mirrored it to create a refreshing composition. Fortunately, it is high-res. But the logo I’m not 100% on because it is a little too reminiscent of a particular Poison the Well logo. Boo, they pioneer both the grunge/splatter band logo trend, AND the metalcore trend.

As for the actual band, we’re getting things together slowly but surely.
