The Band Name

Logo Research
By researching band logos i am able to contribute my ideas to my team members as i have gained a varied understanding of how to attract a large audience and allow our logo to remain looking professional. 

I have learnt that a lack of colour is used so the logo remains simple and the large mass of colour attacts the eye, red is know to do this. The shape of the logos all seem to be quite circualar so i shall keep this in mind, the band name is created to fit with this in the majority of the logos i have studied, i like this quality as it helps 'brand' the band.

Band name

The band names above were my main sorce of inspiration for our band name, we tried a number of band generating websites as well as looking at old and less known bands for inspiration. I quite liked the metophore in the name 'Florance and the Machine' as it refers to the other band members as 'the machine' allowing the focus to be made on 'Florance' . 'The Beatles ' although it sounds bazzar at first their one of the most recogninsed bands in music history, the bands random name got it noticed which is what we intend on doing.

Our Logo

We decided to call our band "Tom & The Tea Pots" as we thought it was original and quirky. Tom is the name of our lead singer in the band and the tea pots represent other people in the band who aren’t seen in the video. We chose to illiterate the words so they were catchy and something a new audience wouldn’t forget. As tea is commonly known for being British we thought it would represent the indie pop theme we are trying to represent. We found musical notes would be perfect coming out the tea pot as it links the name with the musical theme. The bold red colour attracts both male and female fans and is a very attention grabbing colour, it also fit with our colour theme and contrasts well with the black text. The musical notes coming out from the tea pot is unique and fit in well with the shape of the logo. Black text has been used as it contrasts well and links in with the text, as if there one. The text has been created to to fit around the musical notes in order to give the logo shape. Fireworks is the programme we used, as we have used it before and therefore found it easy to use, it was perfect for us as the logo only took over an hour to gather and create. A secondary imaged is we used to develop this logo, the colour was changed and flowers around it were removed.

This is a logo quickly designed to represent the music company which has signed the artist. It will be displayed on the digipack as our research has told us its regally done. Its plain black and white style makes it easy to be applied to any background. I used both publisher and word to complete this logo which i have used plenty of times before, and therefore found it very easy to complete. I believe the indie style is created in the logo due to its simplicity. I chose this writing as i believe its easy and clear to read and is presented so no matter how big or small. I also thought it was quite a unique font as this is the first time iv seen it. I purposely placed the text along the line of the strings so it would fit the shape of the guitar, making the two one.
