Dance Connection Studio is a small dance lesson studio in Chicago. The current website is being redesigned and the company does not have a logo. This project is for a logo only. Designs should adhere to the following requirements.
- Should involve the following color of red: #C10001
- It doesn't necessarily have to have dancers as part of the logo but can
- The design should be classy and elegant
- Please avoid gradients in the design...flat is better, however, it is better if it shows some kind of depth like the shape of one person over the shape of another making it look like one is behind the other
- No Ballet themes. This studio does no ballet at all.
- The client decided to go with branding around Ballroom
- Avoid a single type of dance theme like Tango poses. Cannot be a single dance type.
- Please visit the current website to understand the branding at the URL below
Current website at www.danceconnectionchicago.com
- Also look at the icon that the client provided to get an idea (attached file)

Good
- Abstract couple instead of silhouette looks good
Bad
- Could have chosen better font
- Black and white too plain
Daddy Daughter Dance

Good
- Captures the *essense* of the daddy/daughter vibe
- Little girl in a dramatic pose that shows the emotion in it
- You look at that and you just feel what you're supposed to feel when thinking of daddy and daughter
- Awesome logo for its purpose
Bad
- Logo text too decorative...takes away from the daddy/daughter branding
