Logo Design Brief
I need a logo designed for a keynote speech that I'm currently turning into a book. The talk is called "Tip Jar Culture" and it's about how my time spent working in piano bars can be applied to making ordinary work environments more engaging experiences. Right now I have a very generic thing I developed on Canva, and while I don't "hate" it I also don't love it. I'm open to ideas and interpretations. This is going to be used in big and small places, so keep in mind it should be able to scale relatively easily (it won't be tiny like a favicon, but it will likely be used on a bookmark, for example). The less colorful the better, as I'll be using it in different contexts (a white and black version, both with transparent backgrounds, would be appreciated).

Requirements
Must have
- A graphic component. Not just text, incorporate a tip jar. It should be clearly legible. Playing with the font / incorporating it is ok, but this should be instantly readable to the average eye.
Nice to have
- At the piano bar we use a fishbowl, typically, for our tips. Try to stay away from piano iconography unless you're going to put the tip jar on top of a piano and somehow incorporate the words "TIP JAR CULTURE" (not necessarily all caps) into the piano
Should not have
- This should not incorporate piano keys. It can have a baby grand piano / upright piano designed into the logo as mentioned earlier. But the focus should be the "tip jar"
