Logo Design Brief
We promote live, local music by providing career management training and producing multimedia materials for musicians
90% of our work is taping live shows to produce videos that artists can use to promote their careers. The videos are provided to the artists free of charge.
I want a simple logo showing a toad sitting on a brick or rock and mortar wall. Somehow I want the bricks to be implied with the mortar being more prominent.
The overall look should be clean on a monochrome background
The toad can be stylized, abstract, detailed....whatever. Can't be too cartoonish.
Clean lines, nothing too complicated. Modern, hipster, sophisticated
Ultimately this will be used on T-Shirts and I think the dimensions should be 8" wide by 4.5" high (16:9 aspect ratio).
Since our primary product is HD video, the scene could be framed in a cinema size box, but I am not committed to this idea.
