Band Logo Ideas

Your band's logo represents your brand image in the music world and can be as important as any other element of your overall band. Its importance lies in how it represents the way your music is perceived by the listener, and by using the right art and the correct fonts, you can associate a particular feeling with your logo. This will better identify your band to your overall target audience.
  1. Choosing the Art, Font and Style

    • In creating a band logo, it is important to pick key elements that you all think represent the vibe of your music or overall message that your band conveys. It is a good idea to sketch out some ideas that may work as well as use a computer to find some fonts that you think represent your overall brand image.

      Use your lyrics as well as the overall vibe of the members of your band to come up with a central theme and use that to formulate a few adjectives that describe your overall personality. By centralizing your ideas, you can narrow down what you are looking for in a logo. Many fun bands use colorful art as well as a fun band name to represent their overall demeanor.

    Logo Art Execution

    • Although your band may be excellent and your musical abilities far beyond the norm, it is sometimes important to get a professional to draw your logo. You want it to be as professional as possible aesthetically and by using a professional graphic artist, you may get the best result.

      Use a program like Photoshop to design something if your logo seems easy to create. By scanning artwork and using the many tools in a graphic design program, you may be able to come up with exactly what you are looking for in a logo.

      Once you have designed the perfect logo, you must print it and see how it looks as the logo will be printed on CDs, t-shirts and other promotional material. It must be easy to read and understand as well as look good. A hard-to-read logo can be a detriment and can make your band name forgettable.
