Icon Design Brief
We are 4 brass instrument players that run an online brass recording service, meaning we record brass (horns) for all types of music, including singles, albums, commercials, jingles, film, tv, radio, demo's, etc, all remotely from our studio.
We are in the midst of making our site and we need a logo that fits in with the design of the rest of the site. We are mainly going for the black and white, clean style reminiscent of Apple. The pictures on the site are mainly b/w but have a slight hint of colour and/or are faded. All our horns (brass instruments) are coloured black and gold (as you can see in some of the pictures), so maybe a hint of gold could work well within the logo somewhere.
Our site is -
www.blackjackhorns.com
- if you wish to view the style and colour schemes at this stage. There is a basic logo there but it is a bit too basic for us at the moment and was only there so we have something. The site is still half-way to being finished so please bear that in mind.
We used the website of one of our clients - http://www.sohosquarestudios.com - as a bit of a model of website design, so if that can help in any way then please use it.
Thank you!

Hi There,
- To keep it simple, I think that keeping the text in bold is a must.
- I also think that the fonts should be reasonably basic, more along the sans serif family. I have identified a number of fonts from dafont.com that I would like to see. These are (use caps for all of these):
- Altera
- Brixton Light
- Champagne & Limousines
- Code Light
- Geo Sans Light
- Homizio Thin
- Nike Total 90
- Petitia Light
- Roadway
- Targo MS

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: We would like to take the time to get this right, and we haven't been able to commit as much time to feedback over the previous deadline as we'd like to.

Requirements
Must have
- - 'Blackjack Horns' in the logo.
- 'Blackjack' must be that, and is not 'Black Jack' or 'BlackJack' (use of capital letters/spaces).
- Colour scheme must be pretty simple. Black and white is the general theme of the site, but it would be nice to see greys and golds in there too (as explained before).
- Needs to be bold in statement, but have a little character, as we are musicians and we are creative. Not too cartoony or playful please. Please see the look and feel slider for direction.
Nice to have
- - Maybe have a casino chip to indicate 'blackjack' of Blackjack Horns. Not essential. Possibly have the text inside the chip.
- Maybe incorporate the bell of the end of a brass instrument (i.e. trumpet) in some capacity. Don't know where, but if you come up with an idea it would be good to see it!
- Maybe incorporate soundwaves or a radio of some sort.
- The logo can be just the text, but with a border of some sort to add detail.
- I have no preference to whether the text is all bold or not at this stage.
