Logo Design Brief

Down In Splendour are a London based alternative rock band. Their music encompasses alt-rock, psychedelic, progressive, world and acoustic.The band are looking for a logo that can be used in a variety of formats and captures the look and feel of their music.The logo will be used in a variety of media and formats. The included image (example: Girl Under Water) has been used as a backdrop at Down In Splendour concerts and provides a sense of the feel of the band and style needed. A striking, organic and flexible logo that lends itself to multiple uses, formats and placement.A screenshot of the Down In Splendour website (under construction has also been attached).Key Inclusions1) White/Black/Reversible. Organic feel. No colour inclusions, but the format should allow for the logo to be potentially rendered in colour if needed in the future. (examples attached - Pink Floyd)2) Simple but striking, and versatile. It will need to work in a variety of settings e.g. web, social media, album covers, posters, T-shirts, vinyl3) Striking font, but bear in mind that the font should be flexible enough to sit in a variety of placements. Ie. Not so extreme that it jars with everything else likely to be around it. Fonts can be adjusted for impact if desired. (examples attached - The Beatles, Abba4) Workable in a portrait and landscape setting5) Two formats:a. Full: Down In Splendour (example: Foo Fighters)b. Abbreviated: using first letters – DiS (avoiding the sense of ‘dissing’ someone though) – suggest the emphasis goes on the ‘D’ and the ‘S’ with the ‘I’ smaller or less emphatic. (example: FF - Foo Fighters)

Target Market(s)
